Well, it looks like AOC is looking to spice things up in 3 years.

Alright everyone, you know what to do.

Okay, but seriously. If she ran and won ... it would be no laughing matter.

Here's Axios' report:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and her team are positioning her to run for president or the U.S. Senate in 2028, according to people familiar with her operation ...

She's waiting out Chuck Schumer. If the 74-year-old high ranking senator from New York decides to run again (meaning he'd be over 80 at the end of his next term), AOC might decide to skip the Senate and go straight for the White House.

Some former aides to [Bernie] Sanders see Ocasio-Cortez as an heir apparent who could expand his appeal beyond the party's left wing and immediately raise tens of millions of dollars in a presidential race.

Yes, she'd be taking the Bernie Sanders' route to the White House.

And with Democrats in shambles right now, it might be the best possible time to do so.

  • Ari Rabin-Havt, a longtime Sanders aide, told Axios: 'She has a supporter base that, in many ways, has a larger potential width than Bernie's. She has been in the glare of the spotlight from day one and has the national campaigning experience a lot of other potential candidates are now trying to get.'

  • He added: 'It would be the height of arrogance to assume she couldn't win the 2028 nomination.'

May God have mercy on us.
