Here is her answer to KRISTEN WELKER:

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ:
Well, you know, I think we can take a look at the overall landscape here. It's not just what we're talking about with President Biden, but former President Trump also has extraordinary vulnerabilities. We saw that in New Hampshire. The fact that he is a former sitting president, head of his party, virtually everyone else has dropped out and endorsed him, and still, as we just saw, Nikki Haley came you know, she cleared about 43% in New Hampshire, bodes very not well for Donald Trump and his ability to win a general election. When it comes to President Biden, you know, I think we need to really focus and understand that young people are a very strong part of this electorate. We have a diverse coalition in the Democratic Party that has its own concerns, whether it is what's happening in Gaza or or any other number of issues. But right now, I think November's going to be about the coalition we can put together and the policy progress we can make between now and then.
