AOC May Launch 2028 Bid In Likely Redux Of Kamala Blunder<\/span><\/p>\n

Leftist Rep.\u00a0Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a>\u00a0is rumored to be a candidate in the\u00a02028 presidential election<\/a>, immediately drawing laughter and mockery from critics on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s name \u201calways bubbles to the top\u201d when Democrats discuss the party\u2019s future,\u00a0The Hill<\/em>\u00a0noted<\/a>\u00a0Friday in a compilation list of potential presidential contenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One leftist strategist claimed the congresswoman has impressed Democrats by cutting \u201cthrough the BS and telling it like it is.\u201d <\/strong>This positive characterization sharply contrasted with online comments from users on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz\u00a0reacted<\/a>\u00a0to the news by jesting, \u201cAlex has told people she\u2019s running in 2028 since 2019.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This comment appears to reference the suggestion made by some Democrats in 2020 that Ocasio-Cortez would have been a presidential \u201cfront-runner<\/a>\u201d had she not been so young.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One user\u00a0shared<\/a>\u00a0Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s infamous crying photo at the southern border, with a Trump-Vance sign photoshopped into the image.<\/p>\n

Another user shared an\u00a0AI-generated image<\/a>\u00a0of Ocasio-Cortez as a swamp-like comic villain, with incoming Vice President JD Vance\u2019s face photoshopped onto a Captain America costume in the image.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThink of the memes!\u201d <\/strong><\/em>the second user\u00a0said<\/a>, predicting that an Ocasio-Cortez candidacy would invite mockery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Podcast host and author Alec Lace mocked Ocasio-Cortez by recalling how her\u00a0endorsement<\/a>\u00a0of outgoing Rep. Jamaal Bowman failed to save him from losing his\u00a0Democratic primary<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second Democratic strategist told\u00a0The Hill<\/em>\u00a0that Ocasio-Cortez and her leftist \u201cSquad\u201d are deemed too controversial.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe and the \u2018squad\u2019 started pushing too hard, too fast,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> the Democrat said. \u201cD.C. doesn\u2019t work that way. And our party doesn\u2019t work that way. We need to get back to the basics.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A potential Ocasio-Cortez candidacy could mirror outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019s first presidential bid in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harris launched her campaign as a progressive leader but ultimately failed to make it to the primaries.<\/p>\n

Her campaign was\u00a0plagued<\/a>\u00a0by controversy, wasteful spending and ineffective staff. Four years later, Harris would renounce most of her leftist policies in a failed bid to appear moderate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
