Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez named two senators who could get her endorsement in the 2020 Democratic primary: Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
The New York Democrat said Thursday she would like to see a presidential candidate who has “a coherent world view and logic from which all these policy proposals are coming forward. I think Sen. Sanders has that. I also think Sen. Warren has that.”
ICYMI- Here is our conversation with @AOC about what it will take to win her 2020 endorsement. She said it will take “a while” to decide. She is considering @BernieSanders & @ewarren but didn’t seem high on @JoeBiden. pic.twitter.com/sT69GTusVN

On Thursday, Sanders, I-Vt., and Ocasio-Cortez unveiled legislation to put a national cap on interest rates for credit cards. Warren and the freshman congresswoman were spotted having lunch together in March.
Ocasio-Cortez, 29, said earlier this year she wanted to wait to endorse a candidate until closer to the 2020 election because if she endorsed early in the race, it would prevent the Democratic Party from having a conversation about where it stands on issues, such as income inequality and climate change.
