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.



She’s trying to ride their coattails to relevance. She’s still a neoliberal that can’t be trusted
if she’s a neolib she’s doing an absolutely terrible job at the whole capitilism thing, one of the poorest reps we got for how long she’s been in politics
I assume your a Republican that can’t be trusted.

Infantile binary thinking to assume critique of one is an endorsement of the other. Democrats are Republicans
