AOC Reportedly Gearing Up for Big 2028 Campaign

https://currently.att.yahoo.com/news/articles/aoc-reportedly-gearing-big-2028-141635741.html

...... snip
A Yale University poll released earlier this year found that among Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez boasts the single highest net favorability rating (62%) of all the party’s many potential 2028 presidential candidates.

62%? Oh my, things have changed.

She's one of the few that have fought this oligarchy (the oligarchy tour with Bernie) that is about to form. The crowds and attention behind this is a huge plus for the party.

She is as very unique individual.

Nominating AOC in 2028 would result in a landslide defeat for Democrats and take along with it as casualties, otherwise viable Democratic House and Senate candidates. Fortunately, I don’t think she’ll win the 2028 nomination. As for me, I’m focused on electing Democrats for the upcoming 2026 midterms.

I think he knows he has lost support for senate leadership, especially among the base. He’s also getting up there in age.

AOC will have a good shot, and is probably the early favorite for the nomination, but I think it could be a competitive primary. I’m curious who else jumps in. Maybe Richie-Torres? Hochul?
