Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is considering running for Senate or President in 2028.
She is investing a lot of time and money in growing her online presence.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her team are positioning her to run for president or the U.S. Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation.
Why it matters: Ocasio-Cortez’s 2028 decision could shake up the presidential race or the Senate’s leadership. A fellow New Yorker, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 74, is up for re-election in 2028.
A Senate race between Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez, 35, would be a generational clash pitting the Democratic Party’s leading traditionalist against its star insurgent progressive.
State of play: This year, Ocasio-Cortez — widely known as AOC — has campaigned across the country and in parts of New York State far from her Bronx and Queens district, all while investing millions to grow her already formidable online presence.
She joined Bernie Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” tour and has held town halls.
The New York lefty has joined Sen. Bernie Sanders – a former presidential candidate – on his national “Fighting Oligarchy” tour while she’s also held town halls across upstate New York this summer.
Ocasio-Cortez has also doled out millions this year on growing her social media presence and obtaining a list of possible supporters and donors to grow her grassroots fundraising potential, Axios reported.
The outlet made clear that the 35-year-old lawmaker has yet to make any decision on the future, but her team wants to give her choices.
Some allies reportedly think that even if she doesn’t think she could win the nomination for president, she would run for the White House so the left wing of the Democratic has a stake in the primary – similar to Sanders’ run in 2016.
