Speculation is mounting that U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) may run for president in 2028. Reports from outlets such as The Hill and Yahoo indicate that Democratic strategists are considering Ocasio-Cortez, a Latina and Millennial, as a potential candidate due to her ability to energize young voters and communicate effectively. A strategist noted that she can 'cut through the noise and doesn't talk like Washington.' Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) claimed that Ocasio-Cortez has been planning a presidential run since 2019. She is seen as having demographic advantages and could inherit the Bernie Sanders mantle within the party. As the Democratic Party searches for new leadership, Ocasio-Cortez is listed among potential candidates for the 2028 election and could become the first woman president.
