Why AOC probably should look to advance in 2028

See more of our coverage in your search results.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she’ll decide after the midterms whether she’ll mount a 2028 run for the White House or a Senate seat — while noting that she wouldn’t be heartbroken if she winds up out of elective office altogether, which is wise on multiple fronts.

She’ll make up her own mind, whatever we say; and she’s certainly right that she doesn’t have to win another race to make a difference.

For what it’s worth, polling suggests she’d have an excellent shot at beating Sen. Chuck Schumer in the Democratic primary, and so a fine chance of winning in November in deep-blue New York — though recent surveys suggest her statewide popularity is dropping.

Maybe it’s a mistake to campaign now........
