AOC suddenly leapfrogs to the front of 2028 presidential race on prediction market
(www.the-independent.com)
She is fundamentally the front runner for 2028. The republicans will lose in a landslide unless they do some crazy electoral fuckery that it’s seeming they don’t have the juice for, and no other dems have any motion at all.
She’s consistently one of the most popular politicians in the country, especially on the Dem side. She’s positioned as a party outsider (whether that’s justified or not) and the base hates the party establishment. The median Democrat wants Chuck Schumer to commit sepuku on CNN. She’s been one of the loudest voices against Israel’s genocide and ICE’s terrorism (even despite “Joe Biden is working tirelessly for a ceasefire” which should’ve gotten her put in a wood chipper right behind Biden and Harris).
Who are her opponents even? Gruesome Gavin is the Dem Ron DeSantis, and is completely dead in the water outside of California. Pete Buttigieg has never received a single vote from a black person. Ro Khanna only appeals to people that prefer AOC. Josh Shapiro is a mega zionist who personally covered up a murder, both things that will end is campaign on day 1 (it’s honestly hilarious he even thinks it’s a remote possibility).
Is there anyone I’m missing?
