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.
This person definitely claimed after the fact that they never doubted Obama and it was obvious the country was not just ok electing a black guy, but enthusiastic about it.
Obama didn’t just eek out a victory, he knocked it out of the park. None of their theories about the unstoppable power of prejudice account for all those bigots just taking 8 years off.
