As the 2028 presidential election grows closer, far-left Democrats are reportedly escalating their push for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for the role, with no other clear alternative being seen. Allies shared the pitch for Ocasio-Cortez to run with Axios, saying that she would enter the race polling among the top five potential candidates within the party, with the New York rep being described as "the liberal heir" to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Allies also said that she would be able to raise $100 million just online due to her high-profile status, without having an in-person fundraiser. thepostmillennial.com
