In big news that could make the 2028 presidential election all the more entertaining, The Hill has reported that Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) could try running for president in 2028, as the Democrats think they need someone who’s a bit younger and able to cut through the typical perceptions of Washington, DC, as a locus of corruption, bureaucracy, and sloth.
Conservative X (formerly Twitter) personality Collin Rugg, reporting on the matter, “NEW: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could run for president in 2028 according to The Hill. One Democrat strategist said their party is impressed with AOC’s ability to ‘cut through the BS and tell it like it is.’ ‘She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington.'”
Continuing, Rugg went on to add that the Democratic Party thinks that AOC could potentially connect much better with younger voters, saying, “Democrats believe the congresswoman has a unique ability to connect with young voters. This, they believe, would allow her to utilize social media and podcasts to help win the election.”
Responding to Rugg, Gunther Eagleman, another conservative X personality, said, “She too dumb to be president, she can’t even tie her shoes.” Responding to him, Rugg said, “I think AOC is smarter than some of you guys think. She is playing a character. She plays this ‘dumb, energetic’ character to be relatable and get attention and it has worked.”
Also responding to Rugg was anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck, who said that AOC is probably more of a threat than most conservatives think. He said, “Anyone cheering this on because they think she’ll be easy to beat needs to pump the brakes. She’s probably the most effective liar on the Democrat side and she could potentially fool dejected young people the way Obama did in 2008 unless we do a great job over the next 4 years. We need to focus on making MAGA so popular that she never has the chance to do that.”
Responding to Starbuck, Rugg made much the same point about AOC playing a character quite effectively, saying, “AOC is much smarter than people think. She is playing a character and it’s *very* effective. The proof? She is 35 years old and could hold on to her seat for the next 50 years and become the next ‘Pelosi’ if she wanted. She’s a master marketer/brander.”
Others commented on how funny the idea of AOC being involved in an on-stage debate would be, saying things like “I’d actually pay money to watch a debate between AOC and JD Vance. Like I’d pay real physical money” and “Personally I would love to see the Primary….Imagine AOC, Hillary, Liz Warren, Gretch all on stage in a huge catfight with Shapiro joining them looking confused as hell…”
On another note, The American Tribune’s Todd Peterson noted that the mere fact that AOC is even popular is a quite worrisome fact for America. He wrote, “I’m torn. The fact she’s serious is scary as a reflection of where this country is. Again, Kamala got 48% of the vote. 48%! On the other hand, can you imagine her campaigning lol.”
