## Summary

New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapter has voted to urge Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for US president in 2028. The vote could signal how parts of the Democratic Party’s left are shaping the next presidential race, but it is not a formal DSA endorsement.

The resolution passed 291 to 123 at the chapter’s convention. The group, which has about 15,000 members, says a possible campaign should focus on affordability, including housing, healthcare and childcare, alongside public housing, labour organising, immigration enforcement and anti-war and pro-Palestinian movements. Ocasio-Cortez has said she will decide on her political future after the midterm elections; she has left open both a presidential bid and a Senate run.
