Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

      This is some weird shit that only people in bubbles would comment.

      It doesn’t help anyone but does make people celebrate losing ideas prematurely.

        We also got Katie Wilson. Sure she isn’t classically gorgeous like those three, but damn does that woman represent Seattle.

          She’s so fire though, politically, not just looks. Her whole social media presence is like scrolling c/murderedbywords. Love 'er.

          Honestly, people are so pissed at Trump, and there’s so little credibility left in the GOP even among their own base, that might not matter anymore.
