The Hill on Friday floated Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as a potential contender for the 2028 Democrat Presidential nomination.
Amie Parnes, a senior congressional correspondent for The Hill, included Ocasio-Cortez as the last name on a list of seven Democrats who could be contenders for the nomination in 2024.
One Democrat strategist, speaking anonymously, told the outlet that Ocasio-Cortez can “cut through the BS and tell it like it is,” adding she “doesn’t talk like Washington.”
However, Ocasio-Coretz’s very progressive record could hinder her odds if she does run, according to some Democrats.
“She and the ‘squad’ started pushing too hard, too fast,” another strategist told the Hill. “D.C. doesn’t work that way. And our party doesn’t work that way. We need to get back to the basics.”
Ocasio-Cortez represents a deeply progressive faction of the party, as the strategist pointed out, and Vice President Kamala Harris, the most progressive and radical presidential nominee in history, notably lost the election to President-elect Donald Trump earlier this month in a landslide.
Many, including some Democrat strategists, are pointing to the left’s radical progressive policies as factors behind the loss.
Democrat Strategist Julie Roginsky told CNN’s Newsroom days after the election that Democrats have trouble communicating with “normal people.” She pointed to the left’s use of the term “Latinx,” which was created to describe Latinos and Latinas without assigning sex, as one example:
After Harris’s loss, Ocasio-Cortez took a different route and pointed to “misogyny” among voters as one potential factor behind Harris’s loss.
“This race may not have been decided by any one individual factor, but misogyny is very, very real in this country,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a November 6 live stream obtained by the Daily Caller.
“As another widely known woman of color in office, you know, I knew that sexism and racism were real, but it was not until I got subjected to a national stage that I actually was shocked at how bad it is,” she added.
Along with Ocasio-Cortez, Parnes tabbed Harris, Govs. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), JB Pritzker (D-IL), Josh Shapiro (D-PA), Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), and outgoing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as possible 2028 Democrat candidates.
What an absolute clown show!
