She probably won't garner over 10% of the electorate but her message deserves attention.

There is going to very little appetite for AOC on the Presidential ticket. Particularly using Bernie staffers

I wouldn’t be surprised to see her run for Senate first, though.

One recent AtlasIntel survey found that at Ocasio-Cortez is pacing a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary field at 26%. She was followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (22.4%) California Governor Gavin Newsom (21.2%), and former Vice President Kamala Harris (12.9%).

The word hypothetical is the key word. And twice the number of Kamala? Hmmmm

Let somebody else oust Schumer with her support. Truly she can wrap up the nomination before rhe new york primaries and back a strong primary opponent to him like Lander.
