Is America actually doomed?
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) returned to Jackson Heights, Queens, Friday night for a town hall, sparking renewed buzz that she’s eyeing a 2028 presidential run. The progressive congresswoman—known for her frequent clashes with President Donald Trump’s policies—used the event to rally her liberal base and criticize Republican plans to “cut Medicaid.”
AOC Ramps Up National Exposure on Bernie Sanders Tour
Just days before her town hall, Ocasio-Cortez joined Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on a nationwide “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, a speaking campaign aimed at energizing far-left voters. Her appearance was rescheduled from April due to illness, which she acknowledged in a widely viewed Instagram apology.
Hinting at 2028: AOC Dodges Questions, Doubles Down on Progressive Talking Points
When asked by Fox News Digital about the now-viral video some say hints at a soft-launch presidential campaign, Ocasio-Cortez avoided a direct answer. Instead, she focused on Medicaid, saying, “Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid right now”—a claim directly contradicted by President Trump’s assurances that he will not touch benefits for working Americans.
“This moment isn’t about elections,” she added, before launching into claims about child deportations and civil rights abuses—emotional rhetoric that’s become a hallmark of her brand.
Social Media Buzz: “We Are One” Video Goes Viral
Last week, AOC’s campaign account released a cinematic video on X (formerly Twitter), showing her speaking on a stage in Idaho. “I’m a girl from the Bronx,” she declared. The clip was instantly reposted by liberal activists who hailed it as the unofficial start of her 2028 campaign.
“Brace yourselves, America—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears all but certain to launch a 2028 presidential bid,” noted political journalist Eric Daugherty, reflecting the growing sentiment among Democrat circles.
Polls Show Shift as AOC’s Star Rises, Schumer’s Falls
Back home in New York, a Siena College poll found Sen. Chuck Schumer’s favorability dropped to 39%, while Ocasio-Cortez surged to 47%—a major shift in Democratic Party power dynamics.
Schumer recently faced harsh criticism from within his party for supporting a Trump-backed budget to avert a shutdown, angering progressives who viewed the compromise as a betrayal.
Progressive Money Machine: AOC Rakes In Nearly $10 Million
In just three months, AOC raised a staggering $9.6 million from over 266,000 donors—one of the largest hauls in House history. Her average donation? Just $21, a point her team boasts as proof of grassroots support.
In a social media post, she wrote:
“Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities.”
Behind the Scenes: DNC Faces Internal Struggles
As AOC’s influence grows, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is under pressure. Vice Chair David Hogg’s group, Leaders We Deserve, drew criticism for spending $20 million to boost far-left candidates in safe Democrat districts—raising concerns about the party’s future direction.
Bottom Line:
As speculation around a 2028 AOC presidential bid intensifies, Americans—especially those who support President Trump’s America First agenda—are watching closely. With massive fundraising, growing national exposure, and strong poll numbers, Ocasio-Cortez is poised to reshape the Democrat Party. But her radical rhetoric and policy positions raise serious concerns for voters who value common sense, border security, and economic freedom.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY SHE RAKES IN. SHE IS UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT. NOT EVERYTHING THAT SHINES IS GOLD. SHE IS AT THE ROOT CAUSE WHAT AILES OUR NATION.
