From the article:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) had her latest win over the last week when her endorsed candidate in a crowded New Jersey special primary election, Analilia Mejia, performed above expectations.
Ocasio-Cortez, who has amassed large crowds alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders for their “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies around the country, has already scored a high-profile victory last year when she endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race.
Now, Democratic calls are growing for her to challenge Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) or possibly run for president in 2028, underscoring the degree in which she’s helping shape the party.
“There is a tendency to broadly lump everyone ‘on the left’ together, but while there are some folks who are more interested in throwing bombs or getting clicks, she is very carefully and skillfully building her political base and power,” said Democratic strategist Eddie Vale.
Now 36, the New York congresswoman has only grown her profile and popularity, becoming one of the Democratic Party’s biggest fundraisers and rallying its growing progressive wing.
AOC, it’s your time. You’re already more feared by the GOP than Pelosi, Schumer, et al.
That fear is because AOC is a masterful, passionate, and ferocious proponent of progressive ideals.
We need you. It’s time.
It’s a mystery why she isn’t already embraced as the new democratic presidential candidate.
Go for it AOC, we are tired of the ineffective establishment Democrats.
Either take chuck’s seat or run for president. We need her to take a seat at the biggest table.
I’m calling on her to run for President. Anyone can beat Schumer for Senate unless they are an R.
No how about President
Chuck is showing that he’s irrelevant and ineffective. I’m not sure AOC is the correct replacement, but clearly a change in leadership and direction is needed for effective leadership
Leader should be in quotes when referring to Schumer.
She is the next president
If you think „I like her… but America won’t elect a woman“, you have no fucking clue why Kamala and Clinton lost. Why that is scary, is you probably also have no idea why Trump won. Trump is a symptom, not the disease – and you are going to see another, much more organized Right-populist movement swing right back again if we have another neoliberal status-quo warrior administration like we would see with Buttigieg/Harris/Newsome/et al.
LETS GO GIRLIE, you’re gonna change the whole fucking game
Chuck is such a pos.
Clout? wtf is this shit
Seriously get chuck out of here
AOC should run for senate and replace Schumer. Not president. At least not yet. A senate majority leader AOC would be a p phenomenal contingency in case of a centrist winning the dem nomination.
This title is incorrect.
Corporate Democrats in Name Only are not calling on AOC to challenge Schumer.
PROGRESSIVES who caucus with the Corporate Democrats in Name Only party want this to happen.
The 1% who completely control the Corporate Democrats in Name Only have no problem with Schumer — he is doing everything that they ask of him…even if that is nothing at all.
*Vote Progressive in the primaries. Give Americans a real chance to vote for change in November.*
I wish there was some way I could support her for this! I’ll just add my 2 cents to the algorithm to say, go for it!
Democrat politicians and voters will not allow her anywhere near the White House until she’s 65 years old
I would throw a party if chuck was ousted. Bigger party if chuck and Nancy were ousted.
