Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) renewed her membership in the Democratic Socialists of America this month after the organization discovered she had not formally been a member for nearly seven years.

Ocasio-Cortez initially joined the DSA in 2018, the year she shocked the political establishment by defeating longtime Rep. Joe Crowley (D-NY) in a Democratic primary. But according to the organization, her one-year membership expired in 2019 and was never renewed until August 2026.
