Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez directly addressed rumors she may consider a potential run for the White House in 2028 on social media Tuesday; saying “I’m not a person that aspires to a position, I aspire to a mission.”
“I’ve struggled on like, whether I should address this issue directly or not. People keep saying, like, oh, like the future, like 2028, like blah blah blah… What’s really important is that we have a lot of work that we need to do right now,” said AOC.
“I’m not a person that aspires to a position, I aspire to a mission… We can’t swing from one savior to another… There’s a lot of saviorism in politics, like, who’s next? Like, who’s going to save us? The answer is people,” she added.

“Due to severe racial disparities in certain states, the Electoral College effectively weighs white voters over voters of color, as apposed to a ‘one person, one vote’ system where all our votes are counted equally,” she states.
“Could you image if we had this kind democracy-altering ‘fairness’ provision for literally any other group?” she asks. “If we weighed, for example, black and indigenous voters more because of unfairness?”
