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.

    You all know that next US president will be Donald Trump Jr, 5-6 terms, maybe more. It’s scary but possible. Trump (demented one) is working on that.

      The next president will probably be Vance. Trump has major health issues. He’s unlikely to be alive in 2028.
