Ocasio-Cortez doesn't deny 2028 speculation: 'My ambition is to change this country' [View all]
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is leaving the door open for a presidential run in 2028.
Democratic strategist David Axelrod asked the lawmaker during a Friday event in Chicago about the speculation that she will enter the race for the White House.
The four-term House member pushed back on an assumption that her “ambition is positional,” specifically citing an op-ed in the Washington Post.
“They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat, and my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Presidents come and go … elected officials come and go, but single-payer healthcare is forever.”
