US EditionBernie Sanders and AOC are popular with Democrats. Here's a timeline of their alliance
- Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez formed a progressive political alliance starting around 2016, with Sanders as an established Vermont senator and AOC as a rising New York representative by 2019.
- Their alliance grew from AOC volunteering for Sanders' first presidential campaign in 2016 and receiving support from progressive groups tied to Sanders when she ran for office with little money in 2018.
- Their relationship involved joint campaigning for progressive candidates, co-introducing ambitious policies like the Green New Deal, and sharing the spotlight despite AOC's initial discomfort about public speaking and political influence.
- A 2023-24 survey showed about three-quarters of Democrats favored Sanders and about half favored AOC, with similar unfavorable ratings near 15%, and Sanders described AOC as 'family' while endorsing shared fights against economic inequality.
- Following Sanders' 2020 presidential loss and heart attack, AOC boosted his campaign with endorsements and rallies, and in 2025 they toured together to reinvigorate Democratic support among the working class against elites while Sanders plans no 2028 presidential run.
