Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said on Tuesday that she’s not focused on running for president in 2028, despite the progressive base increasingly calling for her to seek higher office.
Instead, she said she wants the rallies she’s participating in with Sen. Bernie Sanders to energize demoralized Democrats.
“These rallies and the intention of them are so much bigger than any one person,” Ocasio-Cortez told NOTUS. “We want to maintain this energy to win the midterms and take back both chambers of Congress and the White House, of course. But ultimately, the most important thing about this is bringing people together and organizing them right now.”
