_WHAT’S HAPPENING_
Progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is making moves that signal a potential 2028 presidential run, even as she insists that her interest lies solely with policy change.
Throughout May, AOC launched what looks like a national tour, visiting Philadelphia, Montgomery, Atlanta, and Montana to rally voters. She has spoken at historic venues such as Ebenezer Baptist Church and endorsed candidates across the country — many of whom have gone on to win.
While the 36-year-old Democratic Socialist maintains she hasn't decided whether to run, Democratic operatives expect she could raise $100 million from small-dollar donors and mobilize the highly coveted Bernie Sanders base if she enters the race.
