Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Tests Her Message for 2028

CNN: “The New York congresswoman is truly undecided about what she’ll do in 2028, when she can run for president or for the seat held by Sen. Chuck Schumer. But Ocasio-Cortez, 36, is positioning herself to try to reach nationally beyond the deepest blue parts of the Democratic base — and making clear in private that whatever she decides, she has no interest in being merely a protest candidate.”

“Whatever she runs for — including possibly just re-election to her ultra-safe House seat, which has provided quite the platform already — she says she wants to make sure she wins. Same goes for any candidates she backs. And for legislation she gets behind.”
