AOC may challenge Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand in upcoming Senate races: report

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.

We underestimate the idiocy of most voters and the DNC.

Dear Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez,

Please run. Our society is in such dire straits that I don't believe that it can survive without your profound wisdom and insight to lead us.

Too much? I just love it when the left eats its own.

I think AO-C is getting too far over her ski tips with this idea.

I could see her beating Gillibrand who is a lightweight.

But beating Schumer is a bridge too far for even this ditz.

Sure looks like it!
