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.

    Id love to see a female president. Based but downvoted. I love lemmy but this place is too progressive to hear basic truth.

    To the people downvoting, consider the average voter and then realise.

        I supported kamala all along and she lost so I guess we are both a bit

        I would argue that the US is not brave enough for the right person after voting for trump twice, I’d argue something else - perhaps too retarded for the right person? I say this with a really fucking heavy heart.
