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.

    You’re ignoring a few others. You are seriously behind the times here, keep up. Dem socialists are gaining popularity because the “real Dems” are too busy trying to save their own asses instead of working for their constituents. People are fed up with “real Dems”.

    Maybe Jeffries can figure out how to win over the working class with more meetings with Jared Kushner.

      NY is loosing people to the southern states, California too. It just leaves the lazy that want a hand out that the DSA can’t deliver. Tell me about the free child care and public transport that never happened in NYC.

            That’s not grammar, that’s spelling. One person won’t be able to change everything on their own, yeah. You sound far more delusional than the person you are responding to though.
