Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) did not rule out a 2028 presidential run but emphasized that expanding healthcare is more important than pursuing higher office. She stated that policy outcomes, such as achieving universal healthcare, should matter more than holding specific titles like the presidency. Speculation about her candidacy grew after she referenced a poll showing her leading a hypothetical 2028 matchup against JD Vance.
