Bernie Sanders floats AOC as potential 2028 presidential contender: ‘Very good politician’
Independent Senator Bernie Sanders floated Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a potential presidential candidate in the 2028 elections, saying that even though it’s “her decision to make,” she is a “very, very good politician.”
Speaking to Axios, Sanders said that he has been “out on the streets with her” and noticed how she responds when people come up to her. “It’s so incredibly genuine and open.”
Ocasio-Cortez is seemingly positioning herself to run for higher office, whether it is challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his seat or to make a run for president.
Bad idea. Sadly, Americans still care about optics. Americans want someone with a sense of authority and no-nonsense attitude which she doesn’t have. She won’t get voted for even by Democrat voters
