Report: AOC is weighing whether or not to run for president in 2028
Not The Bee ^ | September 19, 2025 | Harris Rigby

Well, it looks like AOC is looking to spice things up in 3 years.

Alright everyone, you know what to do.

Okay, but seriously. If she ran and won ... it would be no laughing matter. Here's Axios' report:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her team are positioning her to run for president or the U.S. Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation ...

She's waiting out Chuck Schumer. If the 74-year-old high ranking senator from New York decides to run again (meaning he'd be over 80 at the end of his next term), AOC might decide to skip the Senate and go straight for the White House.

Some former aides to [Bernie] Sanders see Ocasio-Cortez as an heir apparent who could expand his appeal beyond the party's left wing and immediately raise tens of millions of dollars in a presidential race.

Yes, she'd be taking the Bernie Sanders' route to the White House.

And with Democrats in shambles right now, it might be the best possible time to do so.

Ari Rabin-Havt, a longtime Sanders aide, told Axios: 'She has a supporter base that, in many ways, has a larger potential width than Bernie's. She has been in the glare of the spotlight from day one and has the national campaigning experience a lot of other potential candidates are now trying to get.'

He added: 'It would be the height of arrogance to assume she couldn't win the 2028 nomination.'

May God have mercy on us.

Sadly, I think AOC would be pretty competitive with the Media highlighting her fake accomplishments every hour.

Please do, I want the Vance/AOC debate to be on a conservative or at least somewhat neutral station.

Her team may be doing this to get the other 2028 Dem POTUS hopefuls to push Schumer into retirement.

Would have the same galvanizing effect on the nation as when Bernie almost got the nomination. If she got the nomination, it could be the death knell of the Democratic Party.

Quick- someone hand her an orange juice carton with the word “Concentrate” on it- that’ll keep her occupied for several days

She will do whatever Deep State tells her to do.

Deep State doesn’t have a deep bench for its front office appearance types, but it does have a YUGE collection of dunce chairs.

I hope she does!

The jokes and memes will be hilarious and we’ll have lots of laughs - as her presidential aspirations implode.

She is her own worst enemy every time she opens her big mouth - a Communist and dumb.

I don’t think she’d do much better than Harris did.
