AOC gets plenty of exposure and air time, but there is a whole different level of scrutiny that is applied when one runs for president. One debate and it's over. https://t.co/YzswveIDcD

AOC suddenly leapfrogs to the front of 2028 presidential race on prediction market
Democrats are still reeling from the 2024 election, where Harris replaced President Joe Biden in the late stages of the race and lost to Donald Trump
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now the frontrunner to become the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee, according to Polymarket odds, marking the first time she has led the pack.
As of Wednesday evening, 21 percent of traders backed the New York progressive, who was trailed by California Governor Gavin Newsom at 17 percent. On rival prediction site Kalshi, the results were the same, with Ocasio-Cortez narrowly topping Newsom.
Meanwhile, conventional political polls still put former Vice President Kamala Harris at the top spot, with Newsom in second and AOC in a distant fourth.
Ocasio-Cortez has not announced a formal presidential bid, nor has she sworn one off. Right now she’s focused on helping Democrats win the midterms, she recently told The Independent.
“I think my main focus is really genuinely just the midterms right now, and we have to make sure that we win this majority,” she said.
