Ocasio-Cortez leading potential 2028 Democratic presidential nominees in New Hampshire survey
The Hill ^ | July 23, 2026 | Tara Suter

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is leading a field of possible candidates for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination in New Hampshire, according to a new poll.

In the Granite State Poll from the University of New Hampshire, Ocasio-Cortez garnered 22 percent backing from respondents, with former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg behind her at 21 percent and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) trailing at 9 percent.

Last October, Buttigieg led the field with 19 percent support, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) at 15 percent and Ocasio-Cortez at 14 percent. A few months later in February, Buttigieg maintained his lead with 20 percent support while Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez were tied at 15 percent.

The rise of Ocasio-Cortez, a democratic socialist, in New Hampshire comes alongside progressives stepping into the national political spotlight in the last year with insurgent campaigns against more establishment figures. One of those campaigns was run by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), who has become one of the most prominent and widely discussed members of the Democratic Party.

There have also been calls for Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for his seat two years from now, following democratic socialist candidates winning victories in Democratic primaries in late June.

AOC is a Kamala-level idiot. But is she smart enough to hire top handlers, and then follow their advice to the letter?

If so, I wouldn’t count her out.
Perhaps a Newsom/AOC ticket?

The mainstream media would all clap like trained seals.
And so would almost half the country.
🙁

She auditioned for her role. What a complete joke this is. Rubio or Vance would mop the floor with her.

She's the same. But she has charisma. And she's younger.

So I won't count her out.

I heard she was a little behind.

I wish you would have phrased that differently. Now I’ve got that goofy Pineapple Princess song bouncing around my head.

And so that others might suffer, too.

Ocasio-Cortez wants to be called “AOC” as it conjures up JFK,LBJ, and other notable three-letter Democrats.

DON’T GIVE HER THIS HONORIFIC. She does not deserve it.

2028 is immaterial. The 2026 midterms should be the only focus.

Correct. In this case, it's all about the DNC. If they like her, she'll "win" all of the primaries.
