NYC DSA urges AOC to run for president while planning to take over City Council
New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America chapter voted to urge Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028. The resolution was not a formal endorsement; chapter leaders described it as a commitment to build support and the groundwork for a campaign centred on working-class politics.
At its annual convention, the chapter approved the resolution by 291 votes to 123 and also set out plans to gain control of the City Council. Some resolutions, including one concerning the 2029 City Council elections, were reportedly flagged as AI-generated by Pangram. Chapter co-chair Grace Mausser questioned the detector’s reliability, while the chapter has a policy against AI use and voted to oppose its expansion.
In short
- NYC DSA urged Ocasio-Cortez to run for president in 2028.
- The vote passed 291 to 123 but was not a formal endorsement.
- The chapter also plans a City Council push amid disputed AI-detection claims.
