Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley endorsed Elizabeth Warren for president today, making Pressley the only member of the liberal freshman “Squad” to back a 2020 candidate other than Bernie Sanders
Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley endorsed Sen. Elizabeth Warren for president on Wednesday, landing the senator a powerful ally and making Pressley the only member of the liberal freshman “squad” to back a 2020 candidate other than Bernie Sanders.
Warren tweeted her thanks to Pressley, writing that “I'm proud to be fighting alongside you to put power in the hands of the people.” Pressley, the first black woman to represent the Massachusetts in Congress, hands Warren a surrogate within one of the Democratic Party’s most powerful constituencies, a demographic Biden maintains a solid lead with.
While her path to Congress mirrored Ocasio-Cortez's in one respect — both women upset longtime Democratic congressmen — Pressley served on the Boston City Council for almost a decade before joining Congress as part of a diverse Democratic "blue wave" in last year's midterms. She was a delegate for Hillary Clinton in 2016, while Ocasio-Cortez has said Sanders' 2016 presidential run inspired her first foray into politics.
