First, we get communist mayors in Seattle and New York City, and now prepare yourselves for a commie in the White House, none other than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC, as she is known, leads Vice-President JD Vance in a hypothetical poll in the 2028 presidential sweepstakes.
Of course, both have to get to their party’s nomination first. California’s Governor Gavin Newsom thinks he has the Dem nod already locked up, which means he’ll probably get walloped in the primaries, and there are certainly several others with the ambition, if not the credentials, chomping at the Demofiend bit.
On the GOP/MAGA side, Vance will probably be challenged by a fairly wide field, including Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, and even Ted Cruz. Vance has yet to even receive President Trump’s endorsement, though that will probably come — unless Trump favors son Don Jr.
Whatever happens in 2028 depends in a large part on a) the state of the economy and b) the state of Donald Trump’s image among female voters. If he keeps up the straight (i.e., mean) talk and retaliation against enemies, he could weigh down any GOP nominee.
Let’s face it: by 2028, the public may be completely tired of Trump and MAGA. In some measures, they already are. Witness recent elections.
If she does win, AOC would be the youngest president ever at 40. Vance would be 45.
