Independent Senator Bernie Sanders floated Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a potential presidential candidate in the 2028 elections, saying that even though it’s “her decision to make,” she is a “very, very good politician.”
Speaking to Axios, Sanders said that he has been “out on the streets with her” and noticed how she responds when people come up to her. “It’s so incredibly genuine and open.”
Ocasio-Cortez is seemingly positioning herself to run for higher office, whether it is challenging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his seat or to make a run for president.



Bernie isn’t perfect but he’s 100x the human being you’ll ever be. Sit down.
Bernie is a class traitor.
And what exactly have you ever done for the working class!?
Like the other guy said, sit down. I’ll add, shut up.
For starters protesting for several years to ensure those living with HIV/AIDS had access to medication, demanding government research while people like Reagan and Fauci did nothing as we died. Then went on to protest for the Ryan White Act which proved free HIV medication, counseling, housing, etc for people living with HIV/AIDS. Protested for gay rights in Texas which resulted in Lawrence v Texas. Protesting oil and energy companies for environmental damage, protesting for the rights of Palestinians against US oligarchs that caused their slaughter.
You know real protest stuff and not these echo chamber parades liberals have.

Your ire is so misplaced!
He then goes on to support a system that created those problems.
He continues to actively defend a man with a 20 year old nazi tattoo on his chest
E’rybody would benefit from Sanders shutting the fuck up and passing the torch.
Ahh, another Democrat establishment Bot here to smear the first real progressive candidate Maine has ever seen! Chuck Shumer thanks you for your service.
