The pair will make it official this weekend at a Sanders rally in New York
Ocasio-Cortez’s admiration of Sanders is well-documented , and it was anticipated she would at some point endorse him for president. The fact that it’s happening on Saturday should provide a much-needed jolt for Sanders, whose campaign now seems to be in a precarious position. After months of polling roughly even with Elizabeth Warren — and not that far behind Joe Biden — he has started to lag behind the duo in recent weeks.
The rally on Saturday, dubbed “Bernie’s Back,” is intended as a way for Sanders to demonstrate he is still plenty capable of rousing a pack of supporters, and he made sure to mention it when he was asked during the debate on Tuesday how he planned to reassure voters that he was in good enough health to handle the stresses of the presidency.
