Democrat darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez handily secured reelection Tuesday night in New York’s 14th congressional district – amid mounting speculation of a potential 2028 run for president.
The incumbent four-term congresswoman cruised past her Republican challenger Diamant Hysenaj, winning by a landslide with 78.7% of the vote in her lefty Bronx and Queens district, The Associated Press projected just six minutes after polls closed at 9 p.m.
The midterm win solidifies her popularity among her mostly Democratic home base, further igniting rumors that she’ll either run against long-time Sen. Chuck Schumer or launch a 2028 presidential bid.

Affirmative Action is back.
As insane as....Texas turning blue?
Vance or DeSantis needs to challenge her to a debate early. That would flush her out if she accepts or doesn’t.
So apparently you can be as dumb as a rock, not originate any legislation, and spend your working hours dissing the President and other conservatives and your constituents consider that an honest day’s work. Apparently, she’s not the only one dumb as a rock.
Beto did fairly well against Cruz...and then the California invasion.
Iran War was not an issue eight years ago.
Of course not. That can has been kicked down the road since I graduated from high school. Perhaps Trump should fall on his sword and deal with the issue.
I think NY values celebrity over substance in their reps.
A city of pushovers.
What kind of turnout elected the little taco÷slinger, this time?
Voters will be so mad at the democrats by 2028 ,LOL
Is she the one with the knockers and horse teeth that men ogle over?
So are most voters.
