The political earthquake that shook the Democratic Party when Zohran Mamdani won New York City’s primary last month has rattled its way down to Washington, D.C., as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., teamed up with Mamdani at a “Communication and Organizing Skillshare Breakfast” on Wednesday morning.
Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive champion and youngest woman elected to Congress, was an early endorser of Mamdani, the 33-year-old so-called democratic socialist who has yet to land key endorsements from New York Democratic leaders.
The Bronx and Queens representative campaigned with Mamdani in New York City ahead of his primary win last month, and on Wednesday, the “Squad” member is welcoming Mamdani to the nation’s capital.
Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani were scheduled to host the 8 a.m. breakfast at the National Democratic Club. While the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is located right next door to where Wednesday’s breakfast is being held, the DNC said it was not involved with the event.
Minutes before the breakfast was scheduled to start, the location was moved to a restaurant a few blocks away.
