Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has yet to endorse her former campaign manager and chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti in his bid to succeed Nancy Pelosi in representing California’s 11th district, told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone that she is “trying to think about the role that I am trying to play more broadly” as candidates across the country court her endorsement. With Chakrabarti, as with all others, she said, “Once you go in it’s like ‘what about this, what about this, what about this one’ and I’m one person with an amazing but pretty lean team.” Ocasio-Cortez did not signal whether she plans to endorse her former chief’s campaign before the primary in early June. @JulianAndreone | @AOC
