Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refused to endorse President Joe Biden for a second term during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” this morning:
Breaking: on CNN earlier today, AOC refuses to state if she will support Biden for another term.

And as bad as these quotes read. . .
On @CNNSotu, @DanaBashCNN asks @aoc if she’ll support Biden in ‘24:⁰⁰OCASIO-CORTEZ: We will cross that bridge when we get to it. ⁰
BASH: That's not a yes. ⁰⁰OCASIO-CORTEZ: Should he run again, I think that — I think it's — we will take a look at it.— David Freedlander (@freedlander) June 12, 2022
. . .and:
Rep. @AOC on whether she would back Biden if he runs in 2024:
"We will cross that bridge when we get to it. But I think, if the president has a vision, then that's something certainly we're all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes."

The video of her answer is even worse. Have a watch:
WATCH:@AOC refuses to say if she would support Joe Biden if he runs in 2024.
AOC: “We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it…”
CNN’s Dana Bash: “That's not a ‘yes.’”
After awkward pause, AOC: “Yeah, you know…” pic.twitter.com/lqlLNybZFl

As we told you on Saturday, the knives are out for Joe Biden and that’s just from Democrats like former Obama adviser David Axelrod.
Axelrod told the Times, “He looks his age and isn’t as agile in front of a camera as he once was, and this has fed a narrative about competence that isn’t rooted in reality”:

He added, that the “presidency is a monstrously taxing job and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue”:

So, who would AOC and other Dems actually support in 2024? Because it doesn’t look like they have anyone better than too-old Joe:
While Dems are nervous about Biden's age/presentation on TV — they're not sold on Harris either and nobody thinks the field would defer to her if Biden steps aside.
Names suggested: Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren, Booker, Beto & Bernie not ruling 24 out!https://t.co/beFmFtSL2l
