If Axios is right that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is seriously weighing a 2028 run — or even a Senate bid that would force a primary against Chuck Schumer — conservatives should not panic, we should prepare.
Steve Bannon told Megyn Kelly on her show that he would “love” to see AOC at the top of the Democratic ticket because it would expose the left’s radical agenda in bright daylight. That’s not praise for her ideas; it’s a strategic challenge: let them run their true colors and watch voters reject them.
AOC’s platform is built on expansive government, reckless spending, and cultural extremism — precisely the issues that cost Democrats in swing states. Bannon even called her positions disqualifying and argued that nominating her would be a political gift to conservatives who care about freedom and prosperity.
None of this is mere theater. AOC has been traveling the country, joining Bernie Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, and pouring millions into digital outreach and fundraising to broaden her brand beyond the Bronx. Her national profile is real, but so is the opportunity it presents for Republicans to offer a clear, commonsense alternative.
Republicans should welcome a straight-up match against a candidate whose solutions would mean higher taxes, more control from Washington, and the gutting of American energy. As Bannon put it on Megyn Kelly’s show, bring it on — let the Democrats nominate their dream candidate and let voters decide.
Finally, remember who’s speaking: Bannon remains a force in conservative media and strategy, and he knows how to weaponize contrasts in a campaign. If Democrats hand us a nominee who embodies their worst instincts, we should be ready to run a campaign that defends the Constitution, hardworking families, and American greatness.
