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

Reasoning Behind Vance’s Prediction

Vance argued that the Democrats are “just so dominated by the crazy people.” He also mentioned that he thinks the party’s power is held by the universities, which would favor Ocasio-Cortez. 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. Vance is considered a possible leading GOP candidate for president, and his comments come as Donald Trump has been musing about whether his vice president or Secretary of State Marco Rubio might succeed him.
