Rumors Are Swirling AOC Considering Presidential Run In 2028

Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rumored to be contemplating a presidential run in 2028.

A Democratic strategist told The Hill, “She’s (AOC) somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington.”

The same strategist shared that AOC’s ability to use social media to promote herself is another reason she would receive popular support among young Democrat voters.

Per The Hill:

When Democrats talk about the future of the party, the 35-year-old New York congresswoman’s name always bubbles to the top.

Democrats have long been impressed with Ocasio-Cortez’s ability to “cut through the BS and tell it like it is,” the second Democratic strategist said.
“She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington.”

Democrats say Ocasio-Cortez would be a magnet for young voters and would have little trouble using social media, podcasts and other online tools, as she has been doing since she was elected to Congress in 2018.
While Ocasio-Cortez was once aligned with progressives including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), she has since backed more centrist candidates.

Still, some Democrats say she still represents a more leftist wing of the party to some voters, something that could hurt her if she pursues higher office.

“She and the ‘squad’ started pushing too hard, too fast,” the first strategist said. “D.C. doesn’t work that way. And our party doesn’t work that way. We need to get back to the basics.”

Here’s what Shore News reported:

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rumored to be considering a run for president in 2028, according to a report by The Hill.

The speculation stems from growing interest among Democratic strategists, who view the New York congresswoman as a powerful voice capable of energizing young voters. Known for her ability to connect directly with constituents through social media and unfiltered messaging, Ocasio-Cortez has built a reputation for bypassing traditional political norms to engage with audiences.

In a video, AOC claimed President Trump will bring in a reign of authoritarianism and fascism across America.

“She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington,” one Democratic strategist told The Hill, adding that her straightforward communication style resonates particularly well with younger demographics.

Supporters of Ocasio-Cortez argue that her mastery of platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and podcasts could make her a formidable candidate, especially as voter outreach increasingly shifts to digital spaces. At 39 in 2028, Ocasio-Cortez would meet the constitutional age requirement for the presidency.
