AOC: Change the country, not chase a title amid 2028 chatter
At a Chicago forum, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said her ambition is to change the country rather than pursue a specific office, highlighting lifelong policy goals like single-payer healthcare, a living wage, workers’ rights and women’s rights. The remarks come as Democrats jockey for the 2028 nomination and amid early polling of potential contenders, while she emphasizes making daily decisions to meet the moment rather than clinging to a title.
