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.

    Because it worked out so well the last two times the democrats tried to elect a female president.

    Clinton lost to Trump.

    Harris lost to Trump.

    So what chance would AOC have against a more qualified republican candidate? And I say that with the assumption than anyone who isn’t a Trump is by default, a more qualified candidate.
