Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive who has cemented her popularity with young voters, is reportedly considering running for president or the Senate in 2028.

Ocasio-Cortez, 35, made a splash when she was elected to represent New York’s 14th congressional district, located in the Bronx and Queens, in 2019. Now, the Democrat is reportedly considering taking the next step in her political career as the party searches for its next generation of leaders, Axios reported Friday.

Members of Ocasio-Cortez’s team have recently been positioning the progressive lawmaker, known as AOC, to either run for president or run for a Senate seat.

    I suspect poor headline editing. The article is about multiple options (Senate, President, other party-promoting path) where the navigational use of the term (“plotting a course”) is reasonable. But then the headline couldn’t fit even two options, so it got reduced to just President and no one on the team connected that plotting has a negative implication with a single subject.
