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.

    Have the day you protest-voted for. Keep protest voting and losing. Keep letting your rights get eroded because your perfect candidate isn’t on the ballot. But hey, if you protest vote enough, you might not have to vote anymore, the candidate that you allowed to take the white house said so.

          That’s what I’ve been saying from the beginning. You are wasting your energy trying to get someone like me to change my mind.

          You should’ve been directing that energy towards those voting for establishment candidates, but you don’t learn so here we are.

            Understood, you support MAGA and everything they’re doing. Have the day you voted for.

                No, you obviously haven’t. You live in a two-party system, so either you support the current regime, or you’re hoping that it’ll trigger a revolution - which did not turn out all that great the last time your country tried it.

                I’m not even sure if you’ve figured out yet that I’m not American, though your protest vote did finally give us the kick in the ass to start finding more reliable trade partners, thanks for that :)
