This Video Of AOC’s Response When Asked If She’ll Run For President Is Going Viral

If you didn’t know, Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been drawing massive crowds on their Fighting Oligarchy tour across the US.

The rallies and events aim to engage Americans in real conversations about “how we move forward to take on the Oligarchs and corporate interests who have so much power and influence in this country,” according to the tour’s website. 

And the two lefties aren’t simply drawing out Americans in traditionally blue states — according to Bernie’s staff, their appearance in deep-red Utah shockingly rallied about 20,000 people.

In a video of the exchange, a reporter asks, “Are you thinking about running for president or senate?”

“Listen,” she responds. “Frankly, I think what people should be most concerned about is the fact that republicans are trying to cut Medicaid right now and people’s healthcare is in danger. And that’s really what my central focus is.”

“This moment isn’t about campaigns or elections or about politics,” she concludes. “It’s about making sure people are protected.”

Well! That’s where things are right now, but I’m curious. How would you feel about an AOC/Bernie presidency/vice-presidency? Let us know in the comments or by using the anonymous form below.
