Obama Releases List of Endorsements; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Gets Snubbed

barack obama

*When former president Barack Obama put out his list of endorsements for the upcoming midterm elections in November, one name was noticeably missing. That would be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Ocasio-Cortez became an overnight sensation when she upset establishment candidate Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary in New York’s 14th congressional district. However, she is losing the support of Democrats because of her socialism stance? That’s what some suspect. So is Obama one of those people?

Maybe the reason is because Ocasio-Cortez pissed off Democrats when she recently urged voters to “flip this seat RED in November” while campaigning for a congressional candidate in Kansas.

The color red of course is associated with the Republican Party while blue is the color associated with the Democrat Party.

But even before that blunder, the Democrats were fleeing from Ocasio-Cortez’s corner.

Now it seems Obama has sealed Ocasio-Cortez’s fate by declining to endorse her for a House seat.

Obama endorsed 81 Democratic candidates from 13 states around the country. The list includes Stacey Abrams, the openly lesbian, Black female candidate for governor of Georgia. She will face Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp on Nov. 6. Kemp has already received an endorsement from President Trump.
