Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) signaled in an interview with Axios on Monday that she would not support New York City Council member Chi Ossé in a primary challenge against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez is one of several high-profile progressives distancing from Ossé’s potential run, arguing that it is a distraction from New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory.

Ocasio-Cortez told Axios during a brief interview at the U.S. Capitol that she was “not aware” that Ossé was challenging.

“But,” she added, “I certainly don’t think a primary challenge to the leader is a good idea right now.”

    Typical rightie division, demand leftists fall in line and back their shit choices time and time again but throw a fit and try to fuck over any actual leftists from winning at every step.

    How about you shut up and stop trying to dismantle us?
