New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez looks more and more like a 2028 Presidential candidate every day.
Ocasio-Cortez made her biggest move yet.
And AOC threw down one gauntlet that will terrify every American about the future.
One way White House hopefuls build party support for their Presidential campaign is by stumping for down-ballot candidates – especially ones in key swing states.
Ocasio-Cortez checked that box when she rallied for socialist Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and declared him the “future” of American politics.
“If we want a different politics, we have got to elect different politicians. And I came here to deliver one simple message: that Abdul El-Sayed represents the politics of the future,” Ocasio-Cortez ranted to the crowd.
Ocasio-Cortez declared that electing socialists like El-Sayed was critical to ramming through legislation like the Green New Deal and socialist government healthcare scheme that banned private health insurance.
“And if we want to not only win a Senate majority, but win a Senate majority that means something new for us, that does something new for us, if we want to pass the legislation that we need, and if we want to build a coalition big enough to actually change this country, then we have got to elect Dr. Abdul El-Sayed to the Unites States Senate,” Ocasio-Cortez added.

Conservatives contend that El-Sayed is another Muslim Marxist in the mold of New York City Mayor Zohran Madani.
El-Sayed smeared ICE as a Gestapo, falsely claiming that agents arresting illegal aliens “terrorize people on our streets.”
In 2020, El-Sayed also jumped on the defund the police bandwagon.
“We are in a moment when a lot of our public conversation gets chewed down into 280 characters or less. And that is not the best way to talk about anything. So, you’ll note, I didn’t say ‘defund the police,’ I just described what needed to be done. And I do think we need to be really focused on describing or explaining rather than sort of hedging on one side or the other behind a hashtag,” audio showed El-Sayed ranting.
Ocasio-Cortez endorsed E;-Sayed because the third-worldist, socialist wing of the Democratic Party that she represents is now ascendent.
A poll out of New Hampshire already showed Ocasio-Cortez in first place for Democrats in a 2028 primary.
El-Sayed winning the Senate primary with AOC’s backing would be yet another data point that Ocasio-Cortez is one of, if not the, Democratic Party frontrunners for the nomination in 2028.
