The Memo: No, Really — What If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Runs For President?

As President Biden’s approval ratings sink and polls show many Democratic voters would prefer a different nominee in 2024, some activists are beginning to entertain long-shot options.

I would love to see her in an actual debate.

[play]

I hope she runs we need to shake things up.

[mbameathead]

We deserve an explanation as to why Kim Iverson is no longer part of RISING. YOU OWE IT TO YOUR VIEWERS. It appears she was censored by the show over the Fauci interview?

[BradLR]

can someone explain why all the hate for AOC? honestly, she is a good candidate overall with a clean record.

[The-Contractor]

Hopefully, Tina Forte wins the Bronx district and AOC goes back to bar tending.

[charlesgreiner]

Can't listen to someone with an accent tell me about U.S.
This was a
right ?

I often wonder about the longevity of AOC's career. She isn't really a politician. More of an internet celebrity like a YouTuber or twitch streamer. Her position is based on people wanting to vote for her because they aren't sick of her. But she's all over the news all the time. You would think her voters would eventually get tired of seeing her face constantly and vote her out.

Plus her constant stunts for attention are getting cringy at best.

The Hill : KIM IVERSON made your show and this is how you dismissed her, let’s see how long you will last, you are so becoming hypocritical like the main stream media.

I'd try to be the 1st on line to vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if she decided to run for President and I'm going to be 64 in April.

[tomascoronado]

She didn't know what a garbage disposal was 2 years ago... js

[yoga_for_me]

God help us. Her on the world stage representing America? Hahaha 🤣 We’ve already become a laughing stock in the world.

[mtoffo]

Please do. The democrats need to be even more laughable

[motogig]

She would be Hillaried. AOC has the maturity of a high school kid.

[ryanwinters]

My god I would pay good money to see her try to debate Ron Desantis

[thomascardwell]

Ah yes her spoken word poetry will do well against Putin and Winnie the Pooh

[timwhite]

What is this 4 minute long waste of time video? Who is this clown, and what exactly is his reason for being? Watching this was like eating a Snickers bar for dinner; it's something but does nothing for you.

[kenlawson]

We got Biden. Would be hilarious if AOC was elected.

[MrHanky]

trump was the first big candidate to have a type of Hate factor to such a significant degree when voting. people who would normally or wouldn't normally vote turned out not for someone but ravenously against Trump. Biden didn't mater, he wasn't trump for many people and people turned out in droves to not vote for trump. AoC would have this as well. i say this as a conservative, don't waste your candidate if you can replace Biden. Progressives are a good percentage of younger left wing voters, but they still comprise a much smaller portion of the base who will still begrudgingly vote for a more favorable non progressive democrat, at least for now, but ESPECIALLY against Trump.

[ericwagner]

I’d definitely vote for her for BOTUS.

The B stands for bartender.

[theredscourge]

If she runs, she could win. And then I would be rich by betting on a market crash, followed by a rebound due to overreaction, followed by a slow prolonged crash due to insane policies. While it is clear she is not the best candidate for the job, she is undeniably the candidate that the majority of American voters deserve.
