Summary

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declined to rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying she has not seriously weighed anything beyond the 2026 midterms.
  • A University of New Hampshire poll released Wednesday put the New York Democrat at 22% among likely Democratic voters, up 7 points since February and 1 point ahead of Pete Buttigieg.
  • The survey also showed her 17 points ahead of Kamala Harris, while Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom both lost ground from the prior poll.
  • Ocasio-Cortez has also floated a possible 2028 Senate challenge to Chuck Schumer, as Democratic Socialists of America members debate whether to make an unusually early presidential endorsement before summer 2027.
