Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced her endorsement of a left-wing rival to the powerful head of House Democrats' campaign arm on Tuesday.

Ocasio-Cortez previously called on Maloney to resign as head of the DCCC if he were to take on Jones in a primary. In a statement following the public announcement of the endorsement, Biaggi lauded Ocasio-Cortez as the “standard-bearer” of the Democratic Party. She also slammed Maloney’s decision to run in the 17th District, noting that as DCCC chairman, “his job is to maximize the number of seats that we have in the Democratic majority.” Maloney said he doesn't see any conflict between running the DCCC and making sure he is in a position to hold on to his seat in the House. “I am honored to have received overwhelming support locally, including endorsements from nearly 40 elected leaders and Democratic Party committees,” Maloney told the Washington Examiner. “I respect Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and have worked with her on a number of policy matters, including as a co-sponsor of the Green New Deal. But, on her endorsement, we are going to have to agree to disagree.” Now, support for Maloney's opponent, state Sen. Alessandra Biaggi, has even more support. In a statement to the Washington Examiner, Maloney played down Ocasio-Cortez’s decision to intervene in the race, maintaining that “this election comes down to voters in NY-17.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed a Democratic rival to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, who heads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Biaggi is positioning herself as the progressive alternative to Maloney and said she was "honored" by the endorsement.
