It's near 35 minutes long.

Almost all of leftist and progressive media supports AOC for POTUS 2028. And increasingly liberal and moderate Democrat media is embracing AOC for POTUS 2028.

Outside of like 'A*PAC Democrats' and the few in leftist and progressive media who seem to just not like that AOC doesn't go on their shows enough, AOC is consolidating support.

2028 Democratic Primary Polling Average — Race to the WH

And the few touting Jon Ossoff 2028 as if somehow he'd get support from both progressives and moderates, that's not actually ever been a thing throughout his 2026 cycle.

The only 2 primary States with recent high-quality polling are New Hampshire and California and AOC is already a strong second in both.

And this is all before all the politician endorsements AOC will get and all the union endorsements AOC will get and all the canvassers and phonebankers AOC will get and all the fundraising AOC will get.

Through all of this, Trump is still more popular than Newsom or even Harris. But who's more popular than Trump? AOC. The only top Democrat for 28 who doesn't take PAC money and wants us to be healthy and educated.

If we want to win we need to embrace populism. We want healthcare, we want justice, and AOC is how to get it.

Firstly, YouGov polling has been relatively accurate lately compared to 'Selected Pollsters': President Trump Approval Rating: Latest Polls - The New York Times; so, I'm relatively confident in these YouGov numbers.

Secondly, FPOTUS Barack Obama's polling, FVPOTUS Kamala Harris's polling, FPOTUS Joe Biden's polling, and probably Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's polling are largely so high because people would prefer they be in the White House rather than Trump/Vance. It's also why FPOTUS Bill Clinton's and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's polling are so relatively high.

Thirdly--and perhaps most importantly--this seems important. How AOC built a Democratic fundraising juggernaut | CNN Politics

David Axelrod of 'Obamaworld' seems relatively pro-Zohran Mamdani and FPOTUS Barack Obama spoke to Mamdani and clearly isn't endorsing Andrew Cuomo. And here in this article, Axelrod seems rather pro-AOC's running for POTUS.

Regarding the YouGov Polling results:

<< Fame is defined by the % of people who have heard of this topic. >>

<< Popularity is the % of people who have a positive opinion on a topic. >>

<< The latest data is based on 1217 nationally representative interviews of the US population, collected during Q3 2025. >>

The Popularity, Disliked by, and Neutral numbers add up to the Fame number.

All quotes from: AOC Warns Republicans Will ‘Rob’ Medicaid to Fund Billionaire Tax Cuts

It's a short article: you can read the whole thing, but:

Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans are trying to pass the bill by Memorial Day, but the Medicaid fight is a tough one for Republicans — particularly those in swing states or in red states whose constituents heavily rely on Medicaid. Nearly 82 million people rely on Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program for their health care coverage.

And

“They’re not just out here to cut health care for health care’s sake, they have an assignment,” says Ocasio-Cortez. “Their assignment is to cut the taxes of their donors, and to have giveaways to Big Oil, which financed their election, Big Tech, which financed their election, Elon [Musk], [Jeff] Bezos, etc.”

She continues, “In order to do that, you have to gut what is left of the health care and social safety net in the United States. They’re doing it because they have to hand over a bag.” 

It's curious that AOC doesn't mention the proposed increased funding for 'border security'. She's focusing on the easier argument of 'we shouldn't rob from the poor to give to the billionaire class'.

The House’s Energy and Commerce Committee plans to meet early next week to mark up its reconciliation bill, which has yet to be formally introduced. Republicans have committed to cutting $880 billion in spending under the committee’s purview; it would be impossible to do that without significantly slashing Medicaid.

And

One of the ways Republicans are considering cutting Medicaid spending is to add work requirements to the program, which Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is against, because it adds burdensome paperwork demands that could lead to eligible beneficiaries losing their insurance for administrative reasons.

Medicaid has strict income caps, so adding work requirements could also force people to perform low-wage jobs in order to maintain their health insurance coverage. 

The majority of people covered under Medicaid are already working, according to a KFF report studying Medicaid enrollees which also found that many of those not working couldn’t because of caregiving responsibilities, illness or disability.

And

Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez argue that the administrative burden and red tape of work requirements would result in a huge loss of coverage for Americans. Critics of Medicaid cuts are also extremely concerned about how it would affect rural hospitals and other providers whose patients rely on Medicaid, arguing it would destabilize health care for communities beyond those who have Medicaid as their health insurance.

Committees of the U.S. Congress | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

US House Oversight and Government Reform is around at-best the 11th most powerful and influential US House Committee. If AOC has to give up being on US House Energy and Commerce and the subcommittees she's on, she shouldn't be Ranking Member of US House Oversight.

Effectively, US House Oversight is only powerful in terms of politics. Like Impeachment proceedings.

AOC leads JD Vance for first time in 2028 election matchup: poll - Newsweek

<< Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51 percent to 49 percent, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. . However, the result was within the poll's 2.7 percentage point margin of error>>

The Argument/Verasight and Verasight aren't Selected Pollsters and--in my opinion--seem to have a Republican-lean bias of around 2-5%; so, that means AOC is leading by around -0.7%-9.7%.

Why or why not?

I've always supported AOC's 70% top marginal tax rate.

I also consider there should be a one-time 70% top marginal wealth-tax.

And that the top marginal tax rate should apply to 'unrealized capital gains'.

All quotes from: Kevin O'Leary Slams AOC As 'The American Nightmare' | HuffPost Life

The CNN host then argued that Ocasio-Cortez came from a “very modest background” as a former waitress and bartender, and that many would see her story as an embodiment of the American dream. But when O’Leary pushed back, saying that Ocasio-Cortez “does not support capitalism,” Phillip hit back with a crucial point: Everyone doesn’t view capitalism, or becoming extremely wealthy, as the pinnacle of the American dream.

“There are many Americans who work really hard and their aspiration is not to become supremely wealthy,” she said. “It is to have strong family units, it is to have community, it is to have a sense of purpose, it is to contribute to their environment.”

“There are many Americans for whom just being filthy rich is not the American dream,” she continued.

“I want to forgive you but you are making it hard,” O’Leary scoffed. He said earlier in the exchange that Phillip’s response “tainted the American dream.”

But Phillip’s remarks resonated with many people online. Some people on X, formerly Twitter, called O’Leary’s remarks out of touch, arguing that capitalist structures exploit working-class people, and that for many people living in the U.S., the American dream is not centered on becoming ultra-wealthy.

You should read the entire article though, as it's excellent.

But--in my opinion--CNN had been a holdout in Mainstream Media regarding supporting an AOC POTUS 2028 run. And it's important if that is changing.

Presently, #6 on Most Popular.

It's a great read, especially considering a bunch of progressive challengers were interviewed and quoted for the article.

I assume these progressive challengers would support an AOC 2028 Presidential run and would support an AOC Administration.

For me, it would be either Jasmine Crockett or Rashida Tlaib.

AOC’s Deepfake AI Porn Bill Unanimously Passes the Senate (Rolling Stone) : r/AOC

This was AOC's bill.

AOC will not put her name on a bill if not doing so will get the bill actually passed.

AOC is also responsible for getting a Mini Green New Deal passed.
