Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Thursday she would support former Vice President Joe Biden if he became the Democratic presidential candidate.
"I've said throughout this entire process that what is so important is that we ultimately unite behind who that Democratic nominee is," Ocasio-Cortez, who has endorsed Biden's main rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Democratic race, told Seth Meyers in an appearance on his late-night show.
"I think it's a two-way street. I've been concerned by some folks that say if [Sanders] is the nominee they won't support him and the other way around," she continued.
The progressive firebrand, who also canvassed for Sanders in 2016, added that the general election in November is "more important than all of us."
Ocasio-Cortez, 30, has butted heads multiple times with Biden, criticizing his record as senator and asserting that in other countries they would not even be part of the same political party.

It should be a drop dead certainty that a Democratic Congresswoman should be voting for the previous VP of the party.
