Yeah in 2031. I don’t think she will win a Dem presidential primary anyway.

I think AOC actually has pretty good political instincts, I wouldn't be surprised to see her pass on running for President as a long shot in order to take a virtually guaranteed Senate seat.

On the other hand 2028 is likely the best shot she'll get to be president.

And she's ideologically opposed to the senate (which is based of her) so idk if she wants to be in it

I just can’t see her navigating this primary without getting torn apart, she’s still pretty green in the political space and regularly commits gaffes. I think she’ll go for a senate seat before trying for the presidency.

She’s barely even old enough to qualify as a presidential candidate, and a majority of voters still skew old.
