WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is rumored to be considering a run for president in 2028, according to a report by The Hill.
The speculation stems from growing interest among Democratic strategists, who view the New York congresswoman as a powerful voice capable of energizing young voters. Known for her ability to connect directly with constituents through social media and unfiltered messaging, Ocasio-Cortez has built a reputation for bypassing traditional political norms to engage with audiences.
In a video, AOC claimed President Trump will bring in a reign of authoritarianism and fascism across America.

“She’s somebody who can cut through the noise and doesn’t talk like Washington,” one Democratic strategist told The Hill, adding that her straightforward communication style resonates particularly well with younger demographics.
Supporters of Ocasio-Cortez argue that her mastery of platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and podcasts could make her a formidable candidate, especially as voter outreach increasingly shifts to digital spaces. At 39 in 2028, Ocasio-Cortez would meet the constitutional age requirement for the presidency.
While the congresswoman has not publicly indicated plans to pursue higher office, the speculation reflects broader efforts by Democrats to mobilize younger voters in future elections.
