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.
