In early 2020, nine months before the presidential election, New York Magazine profiled one of the newest House Democrats and asked them what they thought of a possible Joe Biden presidency. “Oh God,” they replied, “In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America we are.”
Earlier this week, as Biden struggled to survive the fallout from his disastrous presidential debate performance, the same member of Congress told reporters outside the Capitol. “The matter is closed. Joe Biden is our nominee. He is not leaving this race. He is in this race, and I support him.”
Welcome to the changing face of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
