She’s embarked on a nationwide tour with Vermont’s Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, held town halls outside of her district in upstate New York, and raised $15 million

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive who has cemented her popularity with young voters, is reportedly considering running for president or the Senate in 2028.

Ocasio-Cortez, 35, made a splash when she was elected to represent New York’s 14th congressional district, located in the Bronx and Queens, in 2019. Now, the Democrat is reportedly considering taking the next step in her political career as the party searches for its next generation of leaders, Axios reported Friday.

Members of Ocasio-Cortez’s team have recently been positioning the progressive lawmaker, known as AOC, to either run for president or run for a Senate seat.

          Okay say something relevant or bless us with your silence. Just because there’s another genocider out there doesn’t mean your favorite genocider isn’t also a genocider.

        And allowing Trump to win by not electing Harris benefited the victims of genocide how, exactly?

          It didn’t and that has fucking nothing to do with what I’m talking about. Like, god damn did you even read what I wrote? Hint: It’s about the future (and AOC), not the past.
