AOC Tests Upstate Appeal in 2028 Senate Probe

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is testing the waters for a 2028 U.S. Senate bid by touring upstate New York. While officially promoting midterm voter turnout, her stops in Buffalo and Ithaca serve to gauge support outside her traditional base. The move contrasts with her lack of recent activity in early presidential primary states, suggesting a potential pivot away from a White House run.

Anti-AIPAC Super PAC Targets Nine House Democrats for 2028 Primaries

American Priorities, a super PAC opposing AIPAC, plans to challenge nine House Democrats in 2028 primaries, citing their support for Israel-related policies. The group, which spent over $6 million in 2026, claims 12 primary wins this year and intends to increase spending. Targets include four New York representatives and five others from Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Maryland, and Utah. AIPAC counters that its allies have won more races than lost, while one targeted Democrat called the announcement premature.

Ocasio-Cortez Weighs 2028 Presidential Bid and Schumer Challenge After Midterms

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has declined to rule out challenging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in 2028, though she plans to decide her next move after the upcoming midterm elections. In a wide-ranging interview, she acknowledged the personal and political hurdles of a presidential run, citing her gender and ethnicity as factors in electability. While she remains a leading figure among progressive voters, she faces significant opposition from Republicans and mixed support among likely voters. Her campaign is currently focused on boosting Democratic turnout in New York, with stops scheduled in Buffalo, Syracuse, and Ithaca.

Vice President Kamala Harris is stepping up midterm involvement, visiting Nevada, backing candidates in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and other races, and signaling she’ll campaign where she can help.

Buttigieg presses retail-style campaign in South Carolina as 2028 bid looms

Pete Buttigieg visited South Carolina for a hands-on, retail-style push to test support for a possible 2028 White House bid, meeting voters and local officials in Orangeburg and framing his message around kitchen-table economics and democratic reform. He emphasized the link between economic concerns and a functioning political system while warning that efforts to weaken the Voting Rights Act threaten Black political power. The trip reflects a broader Democratic effort to cultivate support in early states as multiple potential candidates, including Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear and Ro Khanna, weigh the field for 2028.

Maryland braces for mid-decade redistricting with August session

Maryland will hold an August special session to begin a potential mid-decade redraw of its congressional map, pursuing a state constitutional amendment that would empower lawmakers to adjust lines ahead of the 2028 elections if voters approve it; Gov.
