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.
I’m slightly hopeful that the Republicans will nuke the filibuster to end the shutdown. Then we can finally excercise tbe ghost of bipartisanship in the Senate and Americans will have to actually live with the consequences of their votes.
No way they don’t undo that before the midterms if they feel they’ll lose.
They can’t undo it. Each congress sets their own rules. If the Republicans end it while they have the majority, the Democrats would be the biggest cucks on the planet to bring it back when they take the Senate.
