In a video obtained by Fox News, Omar was questioned Wednesday outside the Capitol whether she would back Biden in his re-election endeavors in 2024. “Of course,” Omar responded.
Omar’s remarks arrive after her fellow “Squad” member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made an appearance earlier this week on CNN’s “State of the Union,” where she dodged stating that she would back Biden for a second term.
“I just want to ask about President Biden. He is saying he’s going to run again in 2024. Will you support him?” CNN host Dana Bash questioned.

“You know, if the President chooses to run again in 2024, I mean, first of all, I’m focused on winning this majority right now and preserving a majority this year in 2022,” Ocasio-Cortez announced. “So, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it…I think if the President has a vision and that’s something certainly we’re all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes.”

“Right now, we need to focus on winning a majority instead of our presidential election,” she went on.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced Monday that President Biden is running for re-election in 2024.
Meanwhile, AOC last week said in a CNN interview that “First of all, I’m focused on winning this majority right now and preserving a majority this year in 2022,” Ocasio-Cortez, who represents the Bronx and Queens, said to host Dana Bash.
“So we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it,” she went on. “But I think if the President has a vision, then that’s something certainly we’re all willing to entertain and examine when the time comes.”
