Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks she can save the Democrat Party from itself.
But the radical New York Congresswoman just got humiliating news.
And a Republican strategist leaves AOC speechless after dropping this brutal truth about her party’s future.
Republican Shermichael Singleton cheers on AOC’s leftward push for Democrats
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been barnstorming across America with socialist Senator Bernie Sanders on what they call an “anti-oligarchy” tour targeting President Donald Trump and White House senior advisor Elon Musk.
The far-left Congresswoman from New York appears to be positioning herself as the new leader of the struggling Democrat Party after its devastating defeat in the 2024 election.
While AOC’s star rises among progressives, Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton couldn’t contain his excitement about the prospect during a CNN panel discussion.
“From our vantage point, as Republicans, we would love that, because I think most American voters, especially those who self-identify as independents, are probably to the center of the left or to the center of the right,” Singleton said.
“They’re not extremist progressives. And so if the Democratic Party want to go down that path, I think it’s going to bode well for Republicans in terms of our electoral success,” he added.
The most telling part? Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky, sitting right beside him, couldn’t even dispute his assessment.
Democrats face internal civil war as radical progressives gain power
AOC’s star power has created serious headaches for the Democrat establishment already.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), once considered untouchable in deep-blue New York, is now facing serious trouble from his left flank.
After Schumer helped pass a GOP-backed spending bill to prevent a government shutdown in March, AOC and her “Squad” allies unleashed their fury on the veteran lawmaker.
The reaction was swift and brutal. According to a poll from a left-leaning outlet, Ocasio-Cortez is leading Schumer by a staggering 19 points in a hypothetical 2028 primary matchup.
This isn’t just speculation – there’s a coordinated effort to push the Democrats further left. The New York Times recently reported that Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David Hogg is working with an outside political action committee specifically to target and remove incumbent Democrats considered too old or moderate.
Those are code words for “not radical enough” for the new progressive vanguard.
Americans reject Democrats’ leftward lurch
The Democrat Party’s favorability has plummeted to a dismal 29% according to a CNN poll released in March, the lowest in the history of the poll.
This collapse in public support comes as no surprise to political observers. As Democrats have embraced increasingly radical positions on border security, transgender issues, and government spending, everyday Americans have recoiled.
Even traditional Democrat strongholds like union households and Hispanic voters abandoned the party in droves during the 2024 election.
The same CNN polling found that while Americans disapprove of both parties, they now view Republicans as the lesser of two evils – a remarkable shift in public opinion since President Trump’s return to the White House.
Yet instead of moving toward the center where most Americans reside politically, AOC and her allies are doubling down on the same policies that drove voters away.
Singleton’s enthusiasm for AOC’s rise isn’t surprising. Republicans recognize that the further left Democrats move, the more disconnected they become from the average American voter in critical swing states that decide elections.
AOC might be a social media superstar in deep-blue districts, but her brand of politics is toxic in places like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Republicans are practically begging Democrats to follow AOC’s lead straight into electoral oblivion.
