'What I've seen around the country is the vast number of Democrats are where I am on the issues,' says the former vice president.
Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden says the party aligns with his "center left" sensibilities.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, speaks during a news conference announcing college affordability legislation on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Monday, June 24, 2019. Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is proposing to cancel the nation's outstanding $1.6 trillion of student debt and offsetting the cost with a tax on Wall Street transactions.
Ocasio-Cortez has become a progressive darling, ever since she swept into Congress after her stunning 2018 primary victory over longtime New York Rep. Joe Crowley. While she easily won the general election, the seat stayed Democratic and did not affect the balance of power in the House.
