Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is considered one of the top names in the Democratic party, and she doesn't seem to be entirely writing off a presidential run next election.
The progressive joined Democratic strategist David Axelrod for an interview this past week, who asked her flat-out if she was considering a presidential or Senate run. In response, she said her "ambition is to change this country."
Here's what to know about the interview, and what AOC has said before about the 2028 race.
In a talk with Axelrod on May 8, the 36-year-old New York congresswoman did not immediately shut out the idea of running next election, whether that be for a Senate seat or the White House.
"They assume that my ambition is a title or a seat," Ocasio-Cortez said. "And my ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country."
