Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, did not rule out the prospect of a presidential campaign in 2028 when questioned by Fox News Digital regarding a viral video that has fueled speculation about her potentially initiating a future candidacy.
She expressed that the primary concern for individuals should be the ongoing attempts by Republicans to reduce Medicaid, which jeopardizes healthcare access. This, she asserted, is her main focus when questioned by Fox News regarding a possible presidential campaign.
President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have consistently stated that they are not reducing benefits for Medicaid or Medicare, but rather are concentrating on eradicating waste, fraud, and abuse identified by Elon Musk’s DOGE team within both programs.
This moment transcends campaigns, elections, and politics. It focuses on ensuring the protection of individuals, particularly those who face incarceration for exercising their First Amendment rights. We are witnessing the deportation of two-year-olds to detention facilities in Honduras and individuals on the verge of losing their Medicaid coverage. To me, these issues are of utmost importance,” stated Ocasio-Cortez on Capitol Hill.
It is important to clarify that the administration is not ‘deporting 2-year-olds into cells’ in any nation as part of its extensive efforts to locate and deport the millions who entered the country illegally during Joe Biden’s administration.
Ocasio-Cortez has been touring the nation alongside Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as part of the ‘Fighting Oligarchy’ tour, which has sparked speculation regarding her potential presidential aspirations. Recently, her campaign account shared a video on X that further fueled these rumors, showcasing the four-term New York City lawmaker and notable far-left ‘Squad’ member, proclaiming, ‘We are one.’
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a native of the Bronx, expressed her sentiments on a campaign-style platform in Idaho, stating, ‘To be embraced in this state, united in our shared purpose, embodies the essence of our nation.’ Recently, Nate Silver, the founder of FiveThirtyEight and a prominent pollster, indicated that Ocasio-Cortez is a frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.
In a preview discussion with FiveThirtyEight’s Galen Druke, Silver identified her as his preferred candidate for the party’s presidential ticket. Druke remarked, ‘There are numerous advantages in her favor at this time,’ further emphasizing that ‘Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez resonates widely within the Democratic Party.’
Additionally, social media users have been circulating Ocasio-Cortez’s video on the X platform, as reported by Fox, interpreting it as a sign of her presidential aspirations for 2028. Political reporter Eric Daugherty commented on the video, stating, ‘Prepare yourselves, America. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is almost certain to pursue the presidency in 2028.’
As rumors spread regarding Ocasio-Cortez’s aspirations for a higher political position, a Siena College poll conducted among New York voters from April 14 to 16 indicates that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s favorability has decreased to 39%, whereas Ocasio-Cortez’s has risen to 47%.
A Siena College poll conducted from April 14 to 16 indicates a shift in the perspectives of New York voters: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s favorability rating is at 39%, while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s has increased to 47%.
Schumer faced criticism in March from members of his own party for supporting a Republican budget bill endorsed by Trump, which averted a government shutdown, leading to outrage and planned boycotts from congressional Democrats, as reported by Fox. This intra-party dissatisfaction is reflected in the poll results.
Concurrently, DNC Vice Chair David Hogg and his organization, Leaders We Deserve, encountered resistance from the DNC this week after allocating $20 million to support the election of younger Democrats in secure House districts.
Ocasio-Cortez has garnered an impressive $9.6 million over the last quarter, marking one of the highest fundraising totals for a member of the House. Her campaign highlighted that this amount was contributed by 266,000 individual donors, with an average donation of merely $21, as reported by Fox.
“I cannot express enough my gratitude to the millions of individuals who have supported us with their time, resources, and energy. Your backing has enabled us to unite people on an unprecedented scale to organize their communities,” Ocasio-Cortez remarked on social media.
