Ocasio-Cortez also threw her support behind Sanders at a rally earlier this month, telling a crowd of supporters “it wasn’t until I heard of a man by the name of Bernie Sanders that I began to question and assert and recognize my inherent value as a human being that deserves health care, housing, education and a living wage.”
Meanwhile, Tlaib is due to hold her own rally with Sanders on Sunday.
