(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a current frontrunner for the Democratic Party for the next presidential election.
Pollsters and pundits are buzzing about the progressive New Yorker as a potential candidate after a Yale survey showed Ocasio-Cortez with a 62% favorability rating. Yale’s undergraduate-led Spring 2025 Youth Poll surveyed 4,100 “self-reported registered voters,” nearly half of which were aged 18-29.
Nate Silver, founder of polling aggregate and election forecaster FiveThirtyEight, predicted in a podcast with political podcaster Galen Druke that Ocasio-Cortez would be the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential nominee, as reported by Fox News.
The poll showed that Ocasio-Cortez has “broad appeal across the Democratic party and there’s a lot of people who could potentially get on board with her,” Druke said.
While Kamala Harris had the greatest name recognition of the Democrats provided in the survey, both she and Ocasio-Cortez received favorability ratings “at about net +60.”
Election forecaster Race to the White House has calculated an average of 18 polls from 11 pollsters since January 2024 on the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. It shows Harris leading by over 16 points. When Harris is removed, those same polls show former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in the lead with 17% and Ocasio-Cortez not far behind with 14%.
Ocasio-Cortez gained national attention in 2018 when she beat incumbent Joseph Crowley in a race for the House of Representatives. She has held the seat since then. A self-proclaimed socialist, she has been speaking across the country with U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, since late February in a “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
“U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a current frontrunner for the Democratic Party for the next presidential election.”
This is not surprising considering the stupid, warped, deranged, mentality of Democrats.
It would not surprise me if the treasonous, destructive Democrat Party put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/Kamala Harris for their presidential bid.
“Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used to be the “face” of the new Democrat Party… a party that was radical, leftist, and out of touch. Now, move over AOC, because Jasmine Crockett has taken control. The party is as radical as ever, and now their spokesperson is even worse.” 🙁 🙁 🙁
I find it so strange, these folk CONTINUALLY RAIL against “oligarchs”, but have some of the RICHEST FOLKS in america, backing the dem party.
This is a joke, right ?!?
A nasty Democrat Party’s Joke like having the the disgraceful useless Kamala Harris running for president in 2024.
Just like the manipulating the 2020 election joke that the Democrat Party played to get the corrupt, demented, treasonous, puppet Joe Biden in the White House.
Unfortunately not.
When the Pope heard about this, he lost his breath. Then the bad news continues.
Sorry, I wish it were true but this is just a publicity stunt to get AOC some media time. There is no way that even the brain dead democrat party would put this dingbat up as their presidential candidate. As conservatives, we should hope and pray they do just that, but it ain’t gonna happen.
Don’t be so sure, they put a vegetable in the White House!
True enough, but he didn’t get out of his basement long enough during the campaign to show off his mental issues. AOC seems anxious to mouth off at any time to display her ignorance.
True that.. WE SEE JUST how despearate they were to beat trump.. SO I CAN EASILY see them pushing her as their ‘next best hope;.
The little commie girl for president, and millions will vote for her…. The founding fathers gave the world freedom and the useful idiots will give the nation to world communism, swell!

Alliances have to be made. POTUS is intricate position requiring many alliances. Some conservative and some progressive. I don’t see the alliances required to pull it off. Many women around that could do that job.
If AOC was the true face of the Democrat party, she would have two heads and two faces to match the hind split cheeks where her brain resides on the American body politic. When the American patriotic strong finally get fed up to the point where they march on Washington, the sound of their footsteps will make the Nazi Goose stepping brown shirts look like the Disney Fantasia Hippo dance of the hours, with more shots heard round the world than anything that occurred in the opening salvos at Lexington and Concord when in those days a minute man was called such because of his ability to show up quick to respond to the challenges to his freedoms, not a description like today of an impotent misgendered liberal man’s lasting time in mock attempts at love making. The dirty little secret about human equality and equal rights is the American women have them because American men loved their women as much as their freedoms, and shared in commerce and social interactions what Men had to earn on the battlefield. The misspent leftist women waste in the currency of misspent wasted taxes what their men earned in the spending of spilled American blood. When the misused power sharing by men of love and finances go out the window, so will the male gift of power to women to obtain it, that they only use to emasculate men, and the very things that ensure those American rights and freedoms. AOC acts like she needs a total body check for Tren de Aragua tattoos.
