Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is actively positioning herself for a potential run for president in 2028, according to a new report.The New York congresswoman has begun a “de facto national tour,” visited key early primary states, held meetings with Democratic insiders, and continues to build the kind of infrastructure that could fuel a White House campaign.While AOC has not formally announced any decision, her recent moves, combined with strong early polling and a history of hiring veterans from Bernie Sanders’ presidential bids, have led many to speculate that she has something up her sleeve.In a new report from Axios, reporters Alex Thompson and Holly Otterbein detailed how Ocasio-Cortez is making concrete steps toward a presidential campaign.The report described her as “one of the biggest X factors in the 2028 Democratic primary,” noting that Democratic operatives believe she could “easily raise $100 million just from small-dollar donors, mobilize many supporters of Sanders’ past campaigns, and command attention as few other candidates could.”The report points out that just this month, AOC has:Rallied voters in Philadelphia for a left-wing congressional candidate in a competitive primary.Spoken at a rally in Montgomery, Ala., about voting rights.Addressed the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta with Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock. (Democrats note that Warnock, the church’s senior pastor, doesn’t always allow visiting politicians to speak at this church. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg didn’t speak when he visited in March.)Met with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s daughter at the King Center in Atlanta to talk about data centers and voting rights.Visited Morehouse School of Medicine, also in Atlanta, to discuss Black maternal health.Rolled out several endorsements in races across the country.Speaking at an event at the University of Chicago with former Obama adviser David Axelrod earlier this month, Ocasio-Cortez responded to questions about 2028 by saying, “They assume that my ambition is positional… They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat. And my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country.”AOC is also reportedly considering a run for the Senate seat currently held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.Multiple polls have shown her as the heavy favorite in a hypothetical Democratic primary against Schumer.Her team has long been weighing whether a presidential bid or a Senate challenge would allow her to “drive the most change,” according to sources close to her operation.A source familiar with her thinking told Axios that AOC will decide which position to run for based on where she believes she can have the greatest impact.The post AOC Taking Major Steps Toward 2028 Presidential Bid, According to New Report appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
