The Briefing with Jen Psaki · AOC warns Dems on new progressive candidates: Hear them out. · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

And the mandate and the message that they gave their voters, because that is their voters' expectation of them.

And so I would say for everyone, for every one statement from years ago that someone wants to pull up, please pull up five of what she's been discussing in her debates.

Well, I think that anyone who says and issues a statement like this, I think it's important for them to get prescriptive about the changes that they want to see.

I've been pretty clear about where I think the country should go.

I think that we need to move forcefully to guarantee health care to every American.

I think we need to move forcefully towards raising wages and taking on corporate corruption and profiteering.

But there are a lot of folks who talk about change in leadership that don't necessarily articulate

what their direction is.

And so I would say that it's important that when we talk about change, we talk pretty specifically about the kind of changes that we want, because there are a lot of people in this country and there are a lot of forces and lobbyists that want the Democratic Party to become even more pro-corporate than it is.

And so not everyone talking about change is talking about the same thing.

And so when I talk about change, I talk about orienting the Democratic Party to be unabashedly working class and to orient itself again around working class Americans.

And and I think that that part of the conversation, because it's kind of in vogue to be talking about change.

When people aren't prescriptive about what those changes need to be, I think we need to be asking further questions.

You know, I've engaged in many conversations with Leader Jeffries.

And for me, one—and we have a broad caucus, right?

For me, I have made very clear that one of my priorities in—

in determining and in a leader determination is securing public housing financing for New York City.

And Leader Jeffries has made his prioritization for the residents of public housing very clear.

And for that reason, I will be supporting Hakeem Jeffries for leader.

I mean, I, of course, I spent many years on the oversight on the Oversight Committee in Congress, which is in charge of investigations during the first Trump administration.
