Democratic rising star Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has not revealed who she will endorse as her party’s 2020 presidential candidate but said Sunday she hopes it’s not former Vice President Joe Biden. The freshman congresswoman from New York told Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery” that she will support whoever wins the nomination, but said a bid by Biden would be going backward, instead of forward. “That does not particularly animate right now,” she said, adding that she has “a lot of issues” with a potential Biden run. Biden, who is projected to be a front runner in the race, has not yet said he’s running. Ocasio-Cortez, who was an organizer for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, said she was still supportive of the Vermont senator’s run, but that other candidates have also caught her attention.
