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 believe that fake pole saying Hong was up 20 points still eh? And you people ran with it and she lost.
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.
Where have I ever said that?
It’s losing, not loosing.
It’s only been 8 months and Mamdani’s approval rating is only getting higher.
You say DSA is up, Hong proves you wrong
LOL grammar nazi but can’t refute the fact people are leaving NY to escape bad DSA policies
Again Hong, I trust your numbers in no way shape or form. 8 months, he will never deliver, they never do. Watch.
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.
Hong is not the entirety of the DSA hahahahaha wtf
It’s not your grammar that was wrong, it was your spelling.
They’re whating?
