Is AOC Hinting at a 2028 White House Run?
Controversial congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) seemed to be leaving the door very open to the possibility of a 2028 presidential run during a town hall in upstate New York over the weekend.
The progressive firebrand appeared to send the strongest signal yet about her national ambitions while speaking alongside fellow New York Democrat Rep. Paul Tonko recently in Plattsburgh, NY.
Although the event was hosted in the district of moderate Republican-turned-MAGA devotee Rep. Elise Stefanik, the crowd appeared to be mostly Democrats who seemed to be enthusiastic about AOC’s “pseudo” announcement. According to public radio station WAMC, the crowd erupted into cheers as a 10-year-old named Finnegan pressed Ocasio-Cortez on the big question.
“I want to know if you’re going to run for president,” Finnegan said.
While Ocasio-Cortez didn’t confirm any plans, she didn’t outright dismiss the idea either.
Hinting at just how seriously she may be weighing the possibility, she said, “Finnegan, this is a crazy time. I don’t know. We’ll see. But I know with support from people like you, it makes me feel like I can do anything.”
While Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has long been a guiding force for the Democratic Party’s progressive movement, he’s all but confirmed he won’t be mounting another presidential campaign in 2028.
“I am 83 years of age. I’m not sure the American people would be too enthusiastic,” he told podcaster Joe Rogan in June.
Now, many in the political world see AOC as his natural heir and a leading contender to shape the party’s leftward future. People within the 35-year-old’s inner orbit have revealed that while she’s not actively exploring a run, she isn’t ruling it out either.
As an unnamed source close to the Ocasio-Cortez camp told Politico in March, “She’s more not focused on running for president than she is uninterested in it.”
I hope so. The bitch can’t even spell president. She should go back to giving blow jobs in the back of her bar in the Bronx. She could give Dunger lessons.
The American Left are stupid enough to vote for her and many woman will vote for her just because AOC is a woman and not because of any supposed abilities.
There is no proof she was even a good bartender much less a good politician. Even her sex tape was a disaster.
Getting a bit rude there namer. And speaking of a lack of facts; no proof of being good does not prove one bad. Maybe you just screwed the pooch on researching her bartending skills.
Then again, you called me stupid, although no proof must mean I is smart. According to your logic at least.
Poned.
Dunger you’re backing a loser. Today Trump proved that he’s amazing
Willieatsdung; drinking again? Which loser might you mean?
Why even bring me into your drunken delusions?
Being your earwig is funny. Do you dream about me too?
Well, Frankie, you are always rude that’s why we are rude back. But you just keep on asking for more and more. Don’t stop. I love to see your red-faced idiocy. Come on now, give it back for more from us. We are ALL waiting.
Still waiting.
And waiting some more.
Come on, before I die of my old age.
PB: sans some specificity, I don’t know what you mean.
Think you will be waiting a while without some clue as to what you mean.
Ah, Frankie, YOU CAN follow orders. But if you are as stupid as you just posted, there really isn’t any hope at all for you to see what real truth is. I bet you don’t even believe in God. Your posts show that. But you don’t know what I or anyone else says, as you claim. How low IS your IQ? And why do you ALWAYS without fail have to slam every single person that posts THEIR feelings and knowledge that is not what your faulty brain sees? What are you? You can’t be human with your mentality. Probably reptilian, though I wouldn’t know but have a deep feeling that is what you are. You have absolutely no respect for anyone but yourself which is why we don’t have respect for you. You violate the first amendment every time you post back to any of us. WE HAVE rights, too. Not just you. WE CAN say what we want even if you hate us which you do. No one is saying you can’t post. No one is saying to get off this channel. We just want you to be human and respectful. We will NOT be respectful of your posts until you become human and allow us to say what we NEED to without your damned intervention. You do not own this website, so we don’t have to listen to you! Is not your job to try to edit our thoughts or for you to come back on any of us. It is only your right to express your thoughts on the written article, not us. I suspect you do it to be mean and take on something that is NOT your right. You are the reason I stopped posting for the most part. You are the left-wing infiltrator, not PBP. You do not even have respect for the authors or their stories. Why do you only pick on PBP and not other channels? Trying to take over for all of them? Looks like it. So, Mr. Dictator, I end – for now. Talk again sometime in the future if I am still around.
PB: again, I have not a clue as to what you mean. I do know who you are though. Another name, same song.
And yes, it’s all true, in your mind, IYO. But zero supporting evidence from you.
Well, Frankie, if you do not understand, it makes you a true unpatriotic idiot. The end!
PB; that last one is clearly not true. My entire family is quite patriotic and not understanding something where evidence is not shown, concepts are unclear, does not deal with the concept of patriotism at all.
If you can’t explain yourself, can’t provide evidence of whatever it is you’re trying to convey; certainly you can’t claim a lack of patriotism.
For example, you say I violate the 1A; pretty hard to do. Show the evidence, an example, something beyond venting your spleen.
