Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said she is planning to support the most progressive candidate for House speaker, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced she would again make a bid to be speaker if Democrats control the House after the Nov. 3 election.

“If Speaker Pelosi runs again, as she just indicated she will, if the Democrats keep the House, will you support her?” a CNN host asked Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday.
