4 OUTLETS
Ocasio-Cortez Declines to Endorse Chakrabarti's House Bid

Outlets agree that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did not endorse former chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti when asked about his campaign for the San Francisco House seat Nancy Pelosi is leaving. Center outlets focus on the absence of an endorsement and whether she might still make one. Right-leaning outlets give the refusal a sharper critical lens, presenting it as humiliating or foregrounding Cenk Uygur's criticism of her response.
