Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s time in the House of Representatives may be soon coming to an end.
Ocasio-Cortez entered the House as one of the biggest rising starts in the Democrat Party.
But now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be leaving Congress for this one reason nobody saw coming.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2028?
The Democrat Party is already starting the search for a new candidate to run for President in 2028.
There is almost no chance the party will want to give Kamala Harris a second shot after her miserable performance in 2024.
Many of the names being mentioned so far are the usual suspects – California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.
But there is one name Democrats are starting to float as a possible 2028 Presidential contender that no one saw coming.
And that’s radical New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Donald Trump won two elections by running as an outsider who burst the mainstream media bubble through his authentic and innovative use of social media.
Some Democrats think Ocasio-Cortez could fill that void for them after the party’s last three nominees – Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris – were all consummate establishment insiders.
“She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington,” one Democrat strategist supportive of Ocasio-Cortez running in 2028 told The Hill.
Democrats suffered massive defections among young voters in 2024, with Trump only losing Americans ages 18-29 54 to 43 percent.
Trump won men ages 18 to 29 outright 49 to 46 percent.
A post-election YouGov survey found 57 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds holding a positive view of Trump.
Some Democrats think Ocasio-Cortez – who will turn 39 in 2028 – could help win back younger voters.
“Democrats say Ocasio-Cortez would be a magnet for young voters and would have little trouble using social media, podcasts and other online tools, as she has been doing since she was elected to Congress in 2018,” The Hill reported.
“Big Booty Latina” 2028

For her part, Ocasio-Cortez has always had one foot out the door of the House looking for a higher office to run for.
In October 2020, Ocasio-Cortez hinted she was looking for something bigger than just being a member of the House of Representatives.
“I don’t know if I’m really going to be staying in the House forever, or if I do stay in the House, what that would look like,” Ocasio-Cortez stated. “I don’t see myself really staying where I’m at for the rest of my life.”
Should Ocasio-Cortez pull the trigger on a Presidential run, she would enter the Democrat field as a political celebrity and with a massive social media presence.
Those are two big cards to play in this current era of politics.
But Ocasio-Cortez has also set herself up to be the next Kamala Harris.
Like Kamala, Ocasio-Cortez supports a number of unpopular and radical leftist positions such as defunding the police as well as ICE, banning private health insurance, and the Green New Deal.
If Ocasio-Cortez wins the Democrat Party nomination for President in 2028, it will show that Democrats learned nothing from the 2024 election.
And it will likely mean a repeat disaster in 2028.
