Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) told The New York Times in an interview Saturday that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden should refrain from releasing a list of potential Supreme Court nominees in the wake of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death because it could divide the Democratic Party ahead of the election.

“On his list are individuals like Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz – Tom Cotton famously supporting bringing in the military to potentially endanger the lives of people exercising their first amendment rights. This is incredibly scary, that that kind of perspective could replace a vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” said Ocasio-Cortez.
