Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she has not ruled out running for president or for the Senate in 2028. The New York Democrat made the comments in an interview on Sunday, indicating she is keeping multiple political options open for the next election cycle.
The outlets describe her statements as leaving the door open to different paths within the Democratic Party. NBC News and CNBC both report that she referenced both a potential presidential bid and a possible Senate run, without specifying conditions under which she would choose one option over the other.
CNBC adds additional context, noting that Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as a polling favorite to be the Democratic nominee. NBC’s report focuses more directly on the fact that she has not ruled out either type of candidacy. Together, the accounts emphasize her continued openness to 2028 while offering different levels of attention to her current political standing.
