Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been campaigning for 2020 Democrat, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, but she thinks the party needs to unite behind its eventual presidential nominee even if it’s not him.

“Bernie has said this, I absolutely believe this: whoever gets the nomination, we have to rally behind them, no matter who it is,” the New York Democrat told Time on Sunday. “And I would hope that everybody would do so if Bernie is the nominee as well.”
