AOC Seizes the Moment

“Democrats are scrambling for a new identity. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is racing to fill that vacuum with a party rooted in Sen. Bernie Sanders’ left-wing populism,” Axios reports.

“Ocasio-Cortez is drawing tens of thousands of people to her rallies with Sanders — even in red states. She’s breaking her own fundraising records, and surging in early polling of potential 2028 presidential candidates.”

“It feels to many top Democrats like she’s grabbing Sanders’ torch as a progressive leader — and that he’s intentionally passing it to her.”
