New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is throwing her support behind Colin Allred as the Democrat seeks to upset Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race. The lawmaker has joined Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and other progressive allies in an attempt to mobilize young supporters in the state as the campaign enters its final month.
The group visited the Texas State campus in San Marcos on Tuesday night as part of a three-day sprint that will also include rallies in San Antonio and Austin. They urged attendants to back both Allred and Kamala Harris, focusing largely on the need to defeat Donald Trump before being able to push for more profound change.
