During an interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl, Sen. Bernie Sanders demonstrated reluctance to discuss Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's possible candidacy for the Senate. While expressing admiration for Ocasio-Cortez and the growing number of progressive voices in Congress, he dismissed inquiries about the electoral race against Chuck Schumer. Sanders, who recently completed a tour with Ocasio-Cortez, emphasized the importance of focusing on their work rather than getting caught up in political gossip, particularly as Schumer faces backlash for past actions related to funding bills.
In the House of Representatives, you have dozens and dozens of strong, smart, disciplined, hardworking young people in the progressive caucus. Alexandria is extraordinary. I am so impressed by her work in Congress and her, just she inspires young people all over the country.
No, you want to do nonsense? Do nonsense. I don't want to talk about inside-the-beltway stuff.
