The New York Democratic congresswoman would narrowly defeat the likely Republican nominee 51 percent to 49 percent, according to the poll.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

    AOC needs to go to the Senate or replace Jeffries before I feel she is ready for the shit show that comes with the broken relationships Trump has caused.

    You’re a coward. This is cowardly thinking. This is what got us Biden. This is what got us Clinton. Democrats try and reason themselves out of going with their best candidate. They select someone who has no fire, passion, or charisma. They reject any candidate that can inspire the base, all on the grounds that they don’t have enough experience, aren’t moderate enough, etc. We nominate some unelectable centrist, ironically on the back of “electability.” And then Republicans nominate a reality TV star with no governing experience at all, and the electable Dem loses in a landslide.

    Maybe you just don’t know what it means for a candidate to be electable?

      Did you vote? 1st question. Secondly, I’m guessing you didn’t read the whole comment.

      Children’s attention spans these days.

            So first you pretend that your original comment had content it didn’t. Then you throw around slurs. You’re insane. Really, someone dares to criticize corporate Dems, and you just can’t help yourself. You start throwing around slurs like “tankie” in a completely irrelevant context. You’re just an llm at this point, a blind parrot rattling off catch phrases.
