The 36-year-old New York representative and one of the country’s most prominent democratic socialists renewed her membership in the group’s national organization after reports emerged earlier this month that it had lapsed. Ocasio-Cortez initially joined the group in 2018.

In a statement on Tuesday night, the DSA announced: “Democratic Socialists of America confirms Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member in good standing of our organization, having recently rejoined in August 2026,” according to a report in City & State New York.

It added: “Previously, the representative joined DSA in 2018 with a one-year membership, which DSA’s national leadership recently noticed had lapsed, in 2019. She has since renewed her membership as of this month.”

The DSA said it decided to disclose Ocasio-Cortez’s membership details amid reports that she could run for president in the next election cycle.

    In what like a few cities and the people are already regretting it. Any DSA governors? Just because they win a dem primary doesn’t mean a thing until the get past the general.

        We’ll see. Spouting off “we’ll seize the means of production” isn’t helping and anyone that took HS history knows how well that went.

          And anyone who went past high school understands more nuance. And spelling. Neither of which you seem to be capable of. Sit down and let the adults talk.

            Ad Hominem, when you can’t defend your stance. So make it personal or about autocorrect. You are a credit to your party.

          Out of curiosity, how well is it going for you having not seized the means of production?

              You misunderstood their question.

              How well is it going for you, as a capitalist, having not seized the means of production?

                I don’t think they misunderstood. Refusing to engage with a question is a common tactic when you have nothing of substance to say.

                Edit: spelling
