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...

‘My ambition is to change the country,’ AOC says when asked about seeking higher office in 2028 New York’s Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brushed off question about run for presidency.

I guess this makes sense if you're a modern liberal. America and democracy didn't really exist ... until our greatest "founding father" MLK marched on Washington. At least that's what AOC thinks. AOC says black people, Native Americans, and immigrants are "what America is all about""Black Americans really created democracy in this country" pic.twitter.com/OR5akV9M4m— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) May 7, 2026AOC: There are very few, like, real archetypes of - in my opinion - truly what America is all about. I think about the Civil Rights and Voting Rights movements. And how black Americans really created democracy in this country. Interviewer:...

I think it has been pretty obvious for a long time that AOC's fundamental belief about capitalism is that it's a bad system which only exists because rich people want to take advantage of poor people. Today, there's a new podcast out hosted by Ilana Glazer in which AOC goes on a rant about billionaires. Her basic argument is that no one can legitimately earn a billion dollars. It's simply impossible. AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you...

While criticizing a recent speech, Ocasio-Cortez took issue with what she claimed was Rubio’s statement that America’s cowboys came from Spain. “My favorite part was when he said that American cowboys came from Spain,” she said in her criticism of Rubio’s speech. “And I believe the Mexicans and descendants of African enslaved peoples would like to have a word on that.” The History Channel reports that America’s cowboy culture stretches back further than America itself, to the era of Spanish colonialism. “Hundreds of years before there was the American cowboy, there was the vaquero,” it says, referring to expert horsemen...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., urged U.S. service members to "refuse illegal orders" Tuesday after President Donald Trump threatened to wipe out Iran’s "civilization." "The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to Trump’s Truth Social post. "To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat." Trump appeared to issue a warning about bombing some of Iran’s civilian infrastructure in an effort to persuade the country to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, among other demands. The president set a deadline of...

Conservative podcast host Ben Shapiro argues Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a serious contender in the race for the White House, following Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral race.

Stephen Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, clapped back at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Monday after she joked about his height and called him a “clown.” “Well, we knew that her brain didn’t work,” Miller told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on her show “The Ingraham Angle.” “Now we know that her eyes don’t work. So, the, she’s a mess, right? What a trainwreck. What a trainwreck.” “Every time she’s on TV, Republican approval ratings go up, Democratic approval ratings go down,” Miller continued. “That lady is a walking nightmare.”

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...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is under fire from the House Committee on Ethics for misrepresenting her fiancé, Riley Roberts, as both her “spouse” and “non-spouse” on official filings—allowing him to receive perks reserved exclusively for congressional spouses. Last month, the Ethics Committee’s July 2025 report revealed that Ocasio-Cortez listed Roberts as her “spouse” on travel documents related to her controversial appearance at the 2021 Met Gala, despite not being legally married to him. The same report highlighted that she failed to list him as a spouse on her required financial disclosures, which would have triggered mandatory reporting of Roberts’ financial assets....

Critics reference ABC's $15M settlement with Trump after similar characterization by George Stephanopoulos New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is being accused of defaming President Donald Trump by calling him a "rapist" on social media amid controversy over the Department of Justice's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. The far-left Democrat, who has traded barbs with Trump repeatedly across both of their political careers, weighed in on the current controversy surrounding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his New York City jail cell in 2019 after facing federal charges related to child sex trafficking. "Wow who would have...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was ripped on social media after she called President Trump “a rapist” online — with many suggesting a tweet from the Congresswoman was grounds for a defamation lawsuit from the commander in chief. Ocasio-Cortez sparked outrage when she tweeted Friday about Trump and the release of files related to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X, apparently referring to Trump and the 2023 civil trial where he was found liable of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll....

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez denounced President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill as a “scam” and a “deal with the devil” in a fiery speech Wednesday on the House floor. As the sprawling bill inches toward passage, Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump of lying about the measure that cuts Medicaid and food stamps for the poor while slashing taxes on tips and providing big breaks for the wealthy and large corporations. “It doesn’t take a smart person to know if you are being lied to,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens, Bronx) said. “President Trump, you’re either being lied to or you are lying to the American people.” The...

New York leftist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez loves to present herself as someone who grew up in the hood. A person who knows the streets, is tough, and faced a hard life. None of that is true. She grew up in an affluent area, went to Boston University where the tuition is currently more than $60K a year, and interned at the office of the late Senator Ted Kennedy. The Gateway Pundit ran an exclusive report about this back in 2019, exposing AOC’s true past when she was known as “Sandy.” During one of her recent and stupid quips on Twitter/X, she...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a potential Democrat presidential primary candidate, is again calling for the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which enforces the nation’s immigration laws. Ocasio-Cortez won her congressional race in 2018 partly on a platform that promised to dismantle and ultimately abolish ICE, even suggesting that illegal aliens deserve a “right of passage” into the United States. Ocasio-Cortez eventually dropped the “Abolish ICE” talking point from her stump speech after polls found that even a majority of Democrats did not want the federal agency to be wiped out. In a new campaign email, just as...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said this week that she has not gotten a response from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the potential investigation into her over a migrant webinar she held in February. “I asked them; they haven’t responded to me, but, you know, once again, I’m fully using the First Amendment to inform people of their constitutional rights. They say a lot of things, but I’ve written a formal letter, and they won’t respond,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. She set the deadline for the DOJ to respond by March 5. The New York Democrat said...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has come a long way since 2018. When she first arrived on the political scene by beating out not just an incumbent, but a member of her party’s leadership in a Democratic primary contest, she was a rebel — an avatar of insurgent impulses within her coalition. And, among Republicans, something of a joke. Now, she’s the Democratic Party’s most popular elected official. A Yale University poll released this week found that among Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez boasts the single highest net favorability rating of all the party’s many potential 2028 presidential candidates — a sky-high 62%. In addition, 41%...

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has embarked on a multi-state tour in what appears to be the most recent and organized effort to unify the Democratic Party against the Trump administration. Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, and Sanders, a Vermont Independent and former Democratic presidential candidate, stopped in Nevada on Thursday and will be in Colorado and Arizona on Friday. The tour is part of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy: What's Next” tour, in which the senator essentially argues the U.S. is headed toward an Oligarchy government as President Trump continues to fill his cabinet and other top-level posts with...

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she's waiting for Republicans to call and invite her to attend town halls in their districts. She claims she wants to go into deep red areas to engage in ‘honest conversations’ with GOP voters.
