Barack Obama omits AOC’s name while endorsing New York Democrats

Former President Barack Obama on Monday endorsed six New Yorkers running for House seats, but he did not endorse freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Obama’s “first wave” of 2020 endorsements follow the Democratic primaries, meaning they won’t influence who makes the November ballot. But the popular former president still carries sway with donors and voters.
Obama released the list of candidates he supports on Twitter. It’s possible he will add additional New Yorkers closer to the election.
