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.

      No. Liberals are all cowards and will just have to suck it up and vote D.

      Catering to liberal cowardice does nothing to expand the electorate.

        They’re here on Lemmy saying they will only vote for a Marxist dream candidate. If the choice is MAGA fascism or an American neoliberal, they’ll sit out.
