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.

    Yeah I would definitely support her but I don’t know why you have downvotes. The fascist have been running character hit pieces on her and misinformation campaigns for like a decade now non stop. Also America has shown it’s true colors by electing Trump twice. I just don’t know how people think we go from an open racist to a women of color without major election reform. Which is happening. Just in the wrong direction. What reality are y’all living in where she has a chance? I hope I’m wrong but just from looking at the current state of things… I know people are somewhat fed up with things, but the idea that they’ll pull their heads out of their racist asses by that time seems ludicrous.
