Vice President JD Vance said he thinks Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the leading Democratic candidate for president in 2028. Vance made the comments during an interview on “The Michael Knowles Show” released Tuesday.

2028 Presidential Speculation

Vance argued that the Democrats are “just so dominated by the crazy people.” He believes that Ocasio-Cortez’s popularity and influence within the party make her a strong contender for the nomination. When asked about other potential candidates, such as Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff, Vance said it will depend on where the power is held in the party.

Ocasio-Cortez smiled and said, “I hope he is” the nominee, when asked by CNN about Vance’s comments. The vice president’s remarks come as the 2028 presidential election is still in its early stages, with several candidates already expressing interest in running.
