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.

    Also the republicans would have no issue voting in a woman if it was one of their own.

    ohh no, some would, but I don’t even know it’d hit the majority in their own lines.

    Bernie is too damn old, and to be fair too against what corporations want to get in, but jesus, have you heard him speak recently, you’d think it was in his late 60’s at most and still sharp AF.

    We need some youth in there. Bad.
