AOC Addresses Rumors She Plans to Run for President in 2028, Doesn’t Rule It Out

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "I've struggled as to, like, whether I address this directly or not, but, you know, people keep saying like, 'Oh, like, the future, like, 2028, like blah-blah-blah.' And I think what's really important is that we have a lot of work that we need to do right now, and I want to, like, level with all of you. I'm not a person who aspires to a position, I aspire to a mission. And we have a lot of issues in our country right now, and we need to address those issues and we can't swing from one savior to another. And there's a lot of saviorism in politics, like who's next and who's gonna save us, and the answer is you, the answer is people. And I know it's — it's really tempting to think that if you're gonna vote for a person they're gonna solve all the problems, but it's not true. We solve our own problems and what we do is that we elect partners in accountability and we elect partners in positions, and we elect people that are actually going to listen to us and be accountable to us.”
