AOC Weighs White House Run in 2028
By Brian Freeman | Monday, 13 April 2026 01:31 PM EDT
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is quietly laying the groundwork for a potential 2028 presidential bid while working to shore up support among skeptical progressives who have increasingly questioned her ideological commitment and political strategy, Axios reported on Monday.
The New York Democrat, who is also said to be considering a Senate run, has recently taken a harder line on U.S. policy toward Israel — including opposition to all funding, even for defensive systems — in what allies and observers describe as an attempt to repair strained relationships with the party's left flank.
Ocasio-Cortez has faced mounting criticism from some progressive activists who once viewed her as a political heir to independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders but now see her as overly aligned with establishment Democrats and focused on broader appeal.
