Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is considering either a presidential or Senate run in 2028, according to a report from Axios citing people familiar with her strategy. This comes after Ocasio-Cortez has been traveling the United States with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour and bringing in fundraising cash.
If Ocasio-Cortez were to enter the presidential or Senate race, the prospect could shake up the establishment of the Democrat Party, as the left-wing "Squad" member could either be seen as a leader in the party as a presidential candidate or running to replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is up for reelection in 2028.
Ocasio-Cortez has campaigned across the country and has invested millions into growing her presence online, Axios reported. She has not made a decision as to what office she will pursue, but her team is working on her strategy.
