Gotta love those prediction markets. The 2028 presidential race is still years away, but the betting action is already starting to tell its own story.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has moved slightly ahead of California Gov. Gavin Newsom in one major prediction market, giving the New York congresswoman an 11% implied chance of winning the presidency compared with Newsom at 10%. Their lines crossed in recent days, putting AOC ahead of one of the Democratic Party’s most visible potential contenders.
The movement has already fueled plenty of conversation about where Democratic voters could be headed after another bruising election cycle. For supporters of Ocasio-Cortez, the shift is being read as another sign that democratic socialist politics continue to carry energy with younger and more progressive voters. Newsom’s position has sparked a different conversation around his national appeal and whether years of high-profile clashes with Republicans will ultimately help or hurt him outside California.
There are still obvious hurdles surrounding any possible AOC campaign. She would enter a presidential race as one of its younger candidates, and Democrats would also be confronting recent electoral history after struggling to elect female nominees to the White House.
For now, Republicans hold the stronger hand across the broader prediction market. Vice President JD Vance currently leads the field at 21%.

I bet Alexandra realizes she is not smart enough to be President.
JD should send her a check for $1000 and a pager to Mamdani.
Remember how she stumbled and mumbled at that Munich security conference? She was supposed to be showcasing her foreign policy credentials there.
I’m sure many liberals don’t know about that because MSNOW didn’t cover it.
I think that’s some evidence she’s not smart enough to be President. She’s said a number of bizarre things over the years. Opposition research will dig up some of that.
She’s not smart enough to be a bartender. And I hate insulting bartenders. Her skill level is probably slightly less than Walmart greeter.
I bet Alexandra realizes she is not smart enough to be President.

That might not matter. The feminists & the democrat beta male types are “all in” on eventually having a “Madam President.”
unclebankster’s messages to the democrats in future elections is very simple.
If you don’t succeed the first two times: please “Try, Try, Again.”
“If you don’t succeed the first two times: please ‘Try, Try, Again.’”
AOC makes ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ look presidential!
Think that gin-soaked rummy will pop up again in 2028? I’ll bet she’s in rehab as I type and has had an Iron Lung installed at her house in Chappaqua.
Lord, Help Us All!
Idiocracy is not just a Movie....
“I bet Alexandra realizes she is not smart enough to be President.”
Oh no, she is certainly not smart enough to know that she is not smart enough to be the President
JD has finally admitted the Iranians are “extraordinarily difficult” to negotiate with.
Damn. There may be hope for that boy yet!
Not too long ago, the socialist bartender was using illegal campaign loot to fund her ketamine shrink. One day story.
AOC broke law by spending $19k in campaign cash on ketamine-therapy shrink for ‘personal use’: complaint
One dummy moves ahead of another dummy. Both are equally dummyfied but which dumb ass m-fing dumb ass dummy will win?
Lord, Help Us All!

We won’t need help from Our Lord, if the democrats choose a woman as their nominee in 2028.(They won’t.)
“They’ll Lose” Without any Devine Intervention.
Hilarious!
I worked for and with people with developmental disabilities. Some of them were just great Walmart Greeters. One of them said something that has always stuck with me. He witnessed someone foolish, and said: "I may be retarded, but that guy is stupid."
I believe he would say the same thing about Ocrazio-Cortex.
I can’t wait to hear all the phony accents she invents.
The DemoNaziCommie party has sure become a sewer
AOC has political baggage but Gavin Newsom has political cargo. The only chance either of these clowns have to advance in politics is for the democrat and deep state machine to keep cheating them into office.
AOC should be in the remake of Deep Throat.
With her ego and all her hangers on and those that simply worship her I doubt it.
