Ocasio-Cortez ramps up fight with Vance amid 2028 speculation [View all]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is increasingly taking aim at Vice President Vance, her possible opponent in a 2028 presidential matchup, should she choose to launch a White House bid.

In the last week, Ocasio-Cortez has drawn a stark contrast between her views and those of Vance on the recent Minneapolis shooting, arguing that his defense of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent’s actions reflects a different vision of the country.

I understand that Vice President Vance believes that shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not,” she told a gaggle of reporters earlier this month.

“And that is a fundamental difference between Vice President Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street."
