AOC Says She Would 'Stomp' JD Vance in a Presidential Race

AOC Says She Would ‘Stomp’ JD Vance in a Presidential Race

https://www.thedailybeast.com/aoc-says-she-would-stomp-jd-vance-in-a-presidential-race/

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez jokingly claimed she would “stomp” JD Vance if the two ever squared off in a presidential election.

The congresswoman’s boast came on Wednesday, after Ocasio-Cortez, often referred to as ‘AOC,’ shared polling data showing her narrowly pipping Vance to the presidency in 2028 by a margin of 51 to 49 percent.

The gap is within the margin of error, meaning the pair is statistically tied in the race.

Ole JD would only have to act stupid and hateful to rack up 40% of the vote. But it wouldn’t be an act.

Since she will not be on ballot for president in 2028. I am guessing Vance won’t be either

He's been vocal about wanting it, calling himself the natural heir to the MAGAt throne. And Republicans may be arrogant enough to prop him up for it.

... another Republican for that matter. I doubt he would ever face a Democrat.
