A spokesperson for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) all but ruled out a primary challenge against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) as the Democratic field for her Senate seat clears up.
“She is not planning to run for Senate in 2024. She is not planning to primary Gillibrand,” an Ocasio-Cortez spokesperson told Politico.For months, the specter of an Ocasio-Cortez primary challenge against Gillibrand loomed large. A darling among progressives and a fundraising juggernaut, Ocasio-Cortez was widely seen as a formidable challenger. A slew of progressive operatives sought to court her into the race."Don't ask me that question … print that," she previously said.
One possible prominent contender who has been floated is former Gov. Andrew Cuomo , who resigned in 2021 amid a sexual misconduct scandal. Ultimately, she declined to primary him. In the time since, the 33-year-old congresswoman has climbed the ranks in the upper chamber, serving as the vice-ranking member on the Oversight Committee and forging bonds with members of the Democratic caucus.
