The words of AOC
Quote:Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she has concerns that people may not come together behind whoever is the eventual Democratic nominee and said the most important thing of all is to beat President Donald Trump at the election.
Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist who has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 2020 race, told Seth Meyers she will get behind former vice president Joe Biden, a moderate, if he becomes the nominee.
"I've said throughout this entire process that what is so important is that we ultimately unite behind who that Democratic nominee is," the New York Democrat said during her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers Thursday evening.
"I think it's a two-way street. I've been concerned by some folks that say if Bernie's the nominee they won't support him and the other way around.
"Right now, November, you know, this is more important than all of us and we really need to make sure that we defeat Donald Trump at the polls assuming—and knowing—how insane it's going to get between now and then."
