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.
You’re in your 40s, so you literally experienced Barrack Hussein Obama’s election as a voting adult. Trump’s entire claim to fame was an abjectly racist campaign against him. And then we won a Senate supermajority and 8 years of the most popular president in recent times.
