AOC has refused to rule out running in 2028 for the presidency of the United States. That’s pretty bold considering that she may not even be in politics by then. She is almost as reviled among the establishment Democrats as she is among Republicans. She refused to contribute money to the regular Democratic Party and instead drafted her own choices and ran them against the establishment Democrats. Every one of her preferred candidates lost in Super Tuesday.
She is in serious trouble as far as staying in the House is concerned. A poll was taken of her district and the news is not good for her among the 22,546 voters they interviewed. Here are some of the results of that poll:
• 58.2 percent of those surveyed were unfamiliar with Ocasio-Cortez.
• 50.8 percent of those surveyed had an unfavorable opinion of AOC.
• 56. 6 percent of those surveyed said they were unsure if Ocasio-Cortez had their district’s best interest at heart.
• 33.4 percent of those surveyed said they would oppose AOC running for reelection next year.
“Facing an electorate more concerned with results than retweets, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has problems in her backyard. Despite her online notoriety and fandom in the national new progressive movement, the citizens of New York District 14 want a representative aligned with their values,” the group concluded. “After surveying voters in 2,261 homes in the district, it’s clear Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is not the model for hope and change she sold herself to be.The opportunity for a new voice is prevalent, and the electorate is ready to take action in 2020.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday night addressed rumors that she may run for president in 2028.
The New York Democrat said in an Instagram live video that “people” keep bringing up “the future, like 2028, like blah blah blah.”
“I think what’s really important is that we have a lot of work that we need to do right now,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And I want to like level with all of you: I’m not a person that aspires to position. I aspire to a mission.” (RELATED: Ocasio-Cortez Rebuffs ‘Fact-Checkers,’ Says The World Ending In 12 Years Was ‘Dry Humor’)
“We have a lot of issues in our country right now and we need to address those issues,” the New Yorker added. “We can’t swing from one savior to another, and there is a lot of saviorism [sic] in politics, like whose next, whose gonna save us.”
