Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) will not, at least for now, run for the U.S. Senate seat held by fellow New York Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand, who is seeking another term next year.

“She is not planning to run for Senate in 2024. She is not planning to primary Gillibrand,” a spokesperson for Ocasio-Cortez told Politico on Sunday.
