Independent Senator Bernie Sanders floated Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a potential presidential candidate in the 2028 elections, saying that even though it’s “her decision to make,” she is a “very, very good politician.”

Speaking to Axios, Sanders said that he has been “out on the streets with her” and noticed how she responds when people come up to her. “It’s so incredibly genuine and open.”

Ocasio-Cortez is seemingly positioning herself to run for higher office, whether it is challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his seat or to make a run for president.

      Oh there will be an election. But it will be one of those where Trump gets 103% of the vote and anyone that doesn’t vote for him gets a visit from ICE.

      Agreed, it’s super unlikely we’ll have free and fair presidential elections again anytime soon. MAGA will illegally hold onto power for as long as possible and that could be decades.
