Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, could be facing a major challenger in their next Senate races -- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY.
Top Democrats suspect that the freshman congresswoman will primary either Schumer in 2022 or Gillibrand in 2024, according to a report from Axios, Gillibrand, who is currently running for president, just won reelection during the 2018 midterms after vowing she would serve her full six-year term.
If AOC runs against the two party powerhouses -- and wins -- it wouldn't be the first time she toppled a big-name Democrat after she defeated leading lawmaker Joe Crowley, who was the chairman of the House Democratic Caucus a member of Congress for nearly 20 years, during the New York primaries in 2018.
Since then, Ocasio-Cortez has become a household name and is leading the effort in promoting the Green New Deal in hopes of tackling climate change.

AOC:
“I’m a star. A star! Stars don’t have to make their own luxury hotel reservations. Get going, moron.”
Bigger-er..................
That’d be fun to watch.
OMG!! Gillebrand is REALLY STUPID! She’sa VAPID, DUMB, AIRHEAD!

would be the first time someone held two Senate seats at the same time?
Anyways, he's never acted like a Senator but rather a House Rep....just bringing the money home.
AOC wouldn't be stupid enough to oust a woman...i.e., Gillibrand. They'd nail her to a cross.
Pence does not have the fight in him to be President. He would be awful. like Romney, he would say he is above it. We need fighters like Trump. Pence will not be President
Chuckie was a Rep before he was Senator.
But he’s never been a ‘Majority Leader’ and that is what he craves, so he’s not going away..................
I just wonder if she will do that as a “sitting Congresswoman?” Because of the way she was elected, she may not actually win re-election next year. So she would have to go after Schumer ( a statewide office by the way) without the mantle of incumbency. A corollary would be, will the RATs run someone against her to get her out of Congress?
Student council, bartender, a year as a congressfool. Of course, US Senate. Why the hell not? I’m surprised she didn’t just decide to go straight for the presidency. Of course I guess there is that age limit thing
We will find out soon.................
If Chuck and Nancy are genuinely that close, don’t you think Chuck will end up asking about contacting some special friends of Nancy? The kinds who can make cement overshoes or help with assisted suicide gunshots in the back?
If not, he hits the speed dial for Chappaqua as usual.
AOC:”Hey, a special midnight concert in Fort Marcy Park. I just have to show up. This will be fun.”
Schumer isn’t going to genially step aside and say “Well, here comes the youth movement. I’ll do all I can to help their transition for the good of the party.”
Dingell and Strom Thurmond wouldn’t get off the stage that way.
I’m sure she has that target in her head...............
AOC is going to find a horse’s head in her bed verrrry soon.
Beside her own?..................
BEARS REPEATING!There's NO Denying It Is Food For Thought!!
Please tell everyone that was a joke. Since the post appeared AOC's campaign donations went up 900% and her computers are overloaded. "How much do I contribute to get a tourist seat to Mars?" "I'll turn over my house to immigrants. When does the first Mars ship take off?"
