Weighing 2028 White House Run, AOC Says Stakes of Race Would Be âAll or Nothingâ
As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighs whether to run for president in 2028, there are numerous factors that complicate her decision: her identity as a Latina woman, her role as a leader in a progressive movement on the verge of unprecedented power, and her considerations about raising a family in the future.
Whatever decision the 36-year-old Democratic congresswoman makes, however, it will be âall or nothing,â she said in an interview published Tuesday by The New York Times, in which she spoke candidly about the stakes of what would be a historic and potentially transformative bid for the nationâs highest office.

Choosing the Next UN Secretary-General Cannot Be Left to a Powerful Few
Historically, the selection of a new secretary-general has been treated as the domain of the UN Security Council, especially its five permanent members, known as âthe P5.â But the wording of the UN Charter is clear that while the Council should recommend a candidate, the appointment is made by the General Assembly. If the P5 propose an unsuitable candidate for reasons of realpolitik, the states of the General Assembly can and should reject them and insist that more suitable individuals be put forward.

Francesca Hong for Governor
State Representative.
Single Mom. Restaurant Worker. Chef.
Progressives could score a huge Wisconsin win Tuesday. Some national figures donât want to touch it.
And other leaders say they arenât familiar with who she is, underscoring the work Hong has ahead of her if she wins Tuesday.

Sanders has said he would not endorse Hong and declined to comment when asked by POLITICO about the race last Friday on Capitol Hill.
El-Sayed on Islamophobia: „That‘s the only play they got. They‘re gonna point at me, they‘re gonna point at my name, like, ‚Wow, he‘s different.‘ That‘s the best you got?
You can‘t actually talk about what you want to do?
El-Sayed Challenges âCorporate Selloutâ and âCowardâ Mike Rogers to Five Debates
Ripping Rogers as a âcorporate sellout,â El-Sayed said that he is âa guy who spent 14 years in Congress with one goal: to figure out how to cash out the day he left. And guess what he did: As soon as he left Congress, after having taken corporate check after corporate check after corporate check, to empower the corporations to pick your pockets, he went and he cashed out.â
âNot in Michiganâno, winters are too cold for him,â he added, eliciting chuckles from the crowd. âHeâs got thin skin, after all. He went to Florida. So, Mike, if you wanna be a Florida man, go be a Florida man.â
Rogersâ who was unopposed in Tuesdayâs GOP primary, worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation before entering politics, first at the state level and then representing Michiganâs 8th District in Congress from 2001-15. In comments to Fox News late Tuesday, the Republican cited his time fighting âterrorismâ in the FBI and falsely claimed that El-Sayed believes âAmerica deserved 9/11.â

Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez forge alliance to advance their socialist agenda
Asked whether AOC, who is 36, would make a good president, Mamdani did not hesitate: âI think sheâd make a good anything.â The rise of socialists, personified by this pair of young politicians, has provoked thinly veiled concern within the Democratic establishment, especially among those sectors tied to the partyâs traditional support for Israel.
