"Are AOC and Jasmine Crockett sabotaging Democrats’ 2028 chances?
“Nature hates a vacuum” is a truism that applies especially to politics.
Since President Trump defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris in November, peeling off many formerly loyal Democratic voters from diverse communities, much of the talk has been about the Democratic Party being rudderless, leaderless and lost.
Viewers of CNN and MSNBC — as well as various other left-of-center media outlets — will have noticed that Reps. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) have been making regular appearances of late. Why?
One explanation I have heard from Democratic operatives is that Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez are trying to fill the vacuum created by Harris’s loss, the absence of a clear 2028 frontrunner and a coherent agenda. With chaos comes opportunity — opportunity, perhaps, for them.
They are correct to believe that such chaos has created a timely window for them to generate a great deal of attention for themselves. But what cost might their rise inflict upon the Democratic Party in 2028?"
Either Crockett or Ocasio-Cortez getting the Democratic nomination for president in 2028 would be a dream come true and a prayer answered for the Trump-Vance White House,
