Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

    Those 50%, or 27% will NOT vote for a woman, no matter what. Therefore, a women candidate will be trying to be first past the post with only 50%, or 73%, of the vote available to her, at most. It is far too great a handicap to bear, at a time when losing is not an option. Learn to read the room.

      They also won’t vote for any democratic candidate no matter what genitalia they’re sporting. Basing our candidate on them is asinine.
