Democrats’ AOC Nightmare is Coming True

As if Democrats don’t already have enough problems, progressive firebrand Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is leading Chuck Schumer in a hypothetical New York Senate primary – and is generating more buzz about a 2028 presidential bid.

According to new survey results from the liberal polling firm Data for Progress, AOC thumped the Senate Minority Leader 55 percent to 36 percent among a group of 770 likely Empire State voters when asked who their preferred candidate would be for Senate in three years. While progressives have long fantasized about elevating an original member of the “Squad” to the Senate, the Data for Progress poll is the most concrete evidence to date that such a feat might be possible.
