Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) dismissed a question of whether or not she’ll run for president in 2028 on Friday night, stating that her “ambition is way bigger.”
“My ambition is to change this country,” Ocasio-Cortez told Democratic strategist David Axelrod during a conversation hosted by the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. “Presidents come and go, Senate, House seats, elected officials, come and go, but single-payer healthcare is forever. A living wage is forever. Workers’ rights are forever. Women’s rights — all of that.”
The representative is among a group of people whom voters see as potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election, including Gov. Gavin Newsom (Calif.), former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
However, according to Ocasio-Cortez, her political ambitions are to “meet the moment,” noting that “conditions change radically all the time.”
“So I make my response less to an attachment to some ... title or position, and working backwards from there.” Ocasio-Cortez told Axelrod. “But I make decisions by waking up in the morning, looking out the window and observing the conditions of this country and saying what move or what decision can I make today that is going to get us closer to that future, stronger, faster, better than yesterday and those conditions.”
She went on to say her “decisions come from a very substantive place,” highlighting that no elite power can prevent her from “waking up every day in service of the working class.”

Oh, yeah - only 4.71 years left.
What a menace
“I want to be Queen, and I want a tiara.”
“The representative is among a group of people whom voters see as potential Democratic candidates for the 2028 presidential election, including Gov. Gavin Newsom (Calif.), former Vice President Kamala Harris, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.“
That’s the best the Dems can come up with?!
She says her decisions come from a very substantive place. Au contraire, ma petit fille. Air in the cranium is not a substantive place.
She is ridiculous. This line of thinking would assume perhaps becoming UN chancellor or something and dictating to the US and all of the countries from there.
Beshear and Shapiro are keeping their powder dry.
A crazy ketamine freak Communist. This should be repeated every day in every way. This is a lunatic drug addict. Ketamine is not benign. Original use in bigger doses was as an elephant tranquilizer to calm an animal for/during surgery.
This stuff really kills me. I mean, why force your socialist ideas onto a country that is still very much in favor of capitalism when there are so many socialist countries around the world that might be more receptive to your ideas. Almost all these socialist countries are basket cases, why not take your brilliant socialist ideas there and try to improve them instead of forcing them down this country’s throat?
Big ambition...like learing how to write her name in cursive?
She’d love to have the power Stalin, Pol Pot, or Castro. There is no doubt in my mind the democrats like her would be just as ruthless and blood thirsty if we didn’t have our firearms.
.
Queen Of The World ,LOL
We’ve already been down that road and it wasn’t good.
Shapiro has no chance, he’s Jewish and the D rank and file now hate Jews
Let’s see, she cost her district 25,000 good paying jobs (Amazon) and she launched “wealth and job killer” Zohran Mamdani run for mayor. If she does for America what she’s done for NYC, we’re all screwed.
NYC will be more broke, less safe, and have fewer jobs for working people because of this idiot.
Sadly, a number of them will agree with her.
