A Yale University poll released earlier this year found that among Democrats, Ocasio-Cortez boasts the single highest net favorability rating (62%) of all the partys many potential 2028 presidential candidates.
62%? Oh my, things have changed.
She's one of the few that have fought this oligarchy (the oligarchy tour with Bernie) that is about to form. The crowds and attention behind this is a huge plus for the party.
She is as very unique individual.

(31 posts)Nominating AOC in 2028 would result in a landslide defeat for Democrats and take along with it as casualties, otherwise viable Democratic House and Senate candidates. Fortunately, I dont think shell win the 2028 nomination. As for me, Im focused on electing Democrats for the upcoming 2026 midterms.

(2,053 posts)I think he knows he has lost support for senate leadership, especially among the base. Hes also getting up there in age.
AOC will have a good shot, and is probably the early favorite for the nomination, but I think it could be a competitive primary. Im curious who else jumps in. Maybe Richie-Torres? Hochul?
