(1,480 posts)89. Is anyone seriously thinking she will run for president in 2028?
I really doubt it, and I think that would be a mistake politically. She’d be better off taking on Schumer (or building allies in convincing him to not run again). Another possibility is running for governor after Hochul’s term is done.
I don’t see her building a coalition to win the presidency, or even the nomination for that matter. Not at this point anyway. Maybe in ten years, or at least a single term in statewide office
The house isn’t a good springboard for the presidency. And I think it was Pelosi that said a glass of water could win her district over a republican.

AOC did a great job...the usual anti-progressive forces are focusing on a few little flubs

Pass. This is just wishful thinking for anyone to think she could ever be nominated...

Her getting elected 2 years from now is more likely than eliminating the electoral college

Oh, sure. We need to run a center/right of center white man who can reach across the aisle!

We're supposed to be serious and as part of that our priority is eliminating the Electoral College?

She made some brilliant comments about how growing income inequality destabilizes democracies

Please don't lump AOC with foreign policy stalwarts like Sen. Whitehouse, etc.

My point was she could've dodged the question, but she couldn't even think on the spot.

But would any elected politician articulate the US policy as clearly and bluntly as you just did?

Looks like they're doing the same thing to her that they did to Hillary and Kamala.

She said "um" a few times. But, I mean, she wasn't wearing a tan suit or anything like that.

Right-wing nothing-scandal. She's the Democratic pick, thumb on scale, for next president, they insist.
