Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has her own White House ambitions for 2028.
The radical Congresswoman doesn’t want any competition from disgraced politicians trying to stage a comeback.
And AOC sounded the alarm about this surprising Democrat running for President in 2028.
AOC drops bombshell about Cuomo’s White House dreams
The far-left is in complete meltdown over Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback attempt.
Cuomo stepped down as New York Governor in disgrace after facing multiple sexual harassment scandals in 2021.
But now the 67-year-old politician thinks he can rehabilitate his image by winning the New York City mayor’s race.
That possibility has Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez so worried that she’s revealing Cuomo’s ultimate endgame to anyone who will listen.
Speaking at a campaign event for progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani, AOC delivered a stark warning about what a Cuomo victory would really mean.
The Congresswoman didn’t mince words when she addressed supporters at the Manhattan rally.
“This is not just about New York City, but this is about the United States,” AOC declared to the energized crowd.
Then she dropped the bombshell that has Democrats everywhere holding their breath.
“I mean that literally, because Andrew Cuomo has made clear that if he wins this race, he wants to run for president of the United States of America,” she warned.
AOC’s revelation confirms what political insiders have been whispering about for months.
Cuomo isn’t running for mayor because he loves municipal politics.
He sees Gracie Mansion as his pathway back to national relevance and eventually the White House.
AOC launches scathing attack on Cuomo
Ocasio-Cortez didn’t stop with just exposing Cuomo’s presidential ambitions.
She went on to savage the former governor for representing everything wrong with Democrat Party leadership.
AOC complained that older politicians like Cuomo are blocking the next generation from taking power.
“In a world and a nation that is crying to end the gerontocracy of our leadership that wants a new day, that wants to see a new generation ascend, it is unconscionable to send Andrew Cuomo to Gracie Mansion once again,” she said.
The irony of AOC’s age-based attack wasn’t lost on political observers.
She was one of the first Democrats to endorse Joe Biden’s re-election campaign in 2024 when he was 81 years old and showing clear signs of cognitive decline.
But now suddenly she’s concerned about elderly politicians standing in the way of younger leaders.
AOC tried to frame the upcoming Democratic primary as a make-or-break moment for the entire country.
“If we can change the page in the biggest and best city in the United States, then we can change the page in the country,” she proclaimed.
The Bronx Congresswoman is desperately hoping her endorsed candidate can pull off a major upset.
Mamdani pushes extreme leftist agenda
Zohran Mamdani represents everything moderate Democrats fear about their party’s future direction.
The 33-year-old state assemblyman has built his campaign around radical proposals that would fundamentally transform New York City.
Mamdani wants to create government-run grocery stores that would compete with private businesses.
He’s proposing massive tax increases on wealthy New Yorkers and corporations to fund his socialist experiments.
The candidate also supports making bus rides free for everyone and providing universal childcare at taxpayer expense.
Most controversially, Mamdani wants to essentially defund the police by redirecting law enforcement toward social work and mental health programs.
These extreme positions have many Democrats worried about what would happen if progressives actually take control of America’s largest city.
That fear is driving establishment Democrats back to Cuomo despite his personal scandals.
Multiple Democrats who previously demanded Cuomo’s resignation over harassment allegations are now endorsing his mayoral campaign.
AOC expressed her disgust with these flip-flopping politicians during her rally speech.
“I cannot tell you how shocked I have been,” she said about Democrats who previously condemned Cuomo but now support him.
“As a survivor of sexual assault, I will never unsee that,” Ocasio-Cortez added.
Cuomo camp dismisses AOC’s claims
Cuomo’s political team quickly moved to discredit AOC’s warnings about presidential ambitions.
Spokesman Rich Azzopardi characterized her comments as desperate fear-mongering from the radical left.
“I have no idea where the far left got this silly new talking point, but the governor has said that — death aside — he’ll be finishing his own term,” Azzopardi told reporters.
But seasoned political observers know that Cuomo has always harbored dreams of higher office.
Before his scandals derailed those ambitions, Cuomo was frequently mentioned as a potential presidential candidate.
A successful run as New York City mayor would give him the perfect platform to rebuild his national profile.
The mayor’s office would provide Cuomo with daily media coverage and opportunities to position himself as a competent executive.
If he can govern successfully for a few years, Cuomo could argue that voters should forgive his past mistakes and give him another chance on the national stage.
Democrats face impossible choice
The June 24 primary puts Democrats in an incredibly difficult position.
They can either support a scandal-plagued politician with a history of inappropriate behavior toward women.
Or they can risk handing control of America’s largest city to radical progressives who want to implement socialist policies.
Neither option offers much comfort to moderate Democrats trying to rebuild their party after devastating election losses.
AOC’s own presidential ambitions add another layer of complexity to this political drama.
Multiple polls show the 35-year-old Congresswoman as a top contender for the 2028 Democratic nomination.
A Quantus Insights survey found AOC second only to Kamala Harris among potential 2028 Democrat Presidential candidates.
Pollster Nate Silver said that AOC is the likely frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in 2028 if she throws her in the ring.
AOC has been building her national profile by touring the country with Bernie Sanders on their “Fighting Oligarchy” events.
These rallies have drawn massive crowds and generated significant media attention for the progressive movement.
The stakes couldn’t be higher
AOC’s warning about Cuomo’s presidential strategy exposes the true battle for the soul of the Democratic Party.
Progressive activists want to push the party further left with candidates like Mamdani leading the charge.
Establishment Democrats prefer politicians like Cuomo who they view as more electable in general elections.
The New York City mayor’s race will determine which faction has more power heading into the 2028 presidential campaign.
If Cuomo wins, he could position himself as the moderate alternative to progressive candidates like AOC.
If Mamdani prevails, it would prove that far-left candidates can win even in diverse urban areas.
The outcome will send a message about what kind of candidates Democrats want to nominate for higher office.
AOC clearly understands that this race is about much more than just who runs New York City.
She knows that her own White House ambitions could be threatened if Cuomo successfully stages a political comeback.
That’s why she’s working so hard to expose his presidential strategy before it’s too late.
