Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) declined to back Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) as he prepares to seek his caucus's support to become majority leader beginning in January, according to The Hill.

The Hill reported that reporters asked Ocasio-Cortez outside the Capitol whether she would back her home state's senator for the top spot in the upper chamber, given "calls for new leadership." The summary of the report does not say how she answered the question in full or whether she named a preference.

The Hill's summary describes Schumer as Senate Minority Leader while also saying he is seeking to become majority leader, and it does not explain the difference.

NPR separately reported that Michel Martin spoke with Hogan Gidley, a Republican consultant and advisor to House Speaker Mike Johnson, about the new GOP leadership vote, according to NPR's segment.

The NPR summary does not describe what Gidley said, and it gives no details about the GOP vote, including its timing. The only timing in the materials reviewed is The Hill's reference to January.

The two items cover leadership questions in different parties, and the materials reviewed do not say how they relate. Further details were not included in the summaries reviewed for this story.
