When will AOC become POTUS?

[Senator-elect Spark]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is pretty early in her career, and presumably with the country becoming a majority Hispanic nation by 2050, would she be well positioned to be the next leader of the Democratic Party in the foreseeable future?

She has risen to stardom in the House being the most transparent person I’ve seen in a while IMO.

Also lol America won’t be a ‘majority Hispanic’ country in 2050, it’s not even likely California will be 50% Hispanic in 2050.

[Orwell]

America will be Majority Minority

If Trump gets re-elected, then I think she'll run in 2024; if he doesn't, then 2028. However, I don't see her winning the nomination at those times (maybe she could end up being selected as somebody's running mate at that point, but I think that's unlikely as well). In the former scenario, though, 2032 (following the 2-term Democratic president who succeeded Trump) is a definite possibility, & in the latter scenario, if the Democrats lose the White House in 2028 following a 2-term Democratic presidency, I could definitely see there being a real possibility for her in either 2032 or 2036.

Also in 2028, I think she could very well run for a retiring Chuck Schumer's Senate seat (or earlier in the decade for NY's other Senate seat if Kirsten Gillibrand ends up being President, VP, or a Cabinet secretary), though who knows how much appeal she'd have statewide in NY.

As for leadership, remember, she's already a movement leader within the party. So if she ends up staying in the House, then I don't think she'll ever elect to be in a position of formal leadership, though per the seniority system, she'll definitely be a committee chairman down the line. If she ever tries to become part of the formal House Democratic leadership, though, then I don't think it'll be for at least a minimum of 15 years.

She will become President on July 4, 2176, as she appears among us once again to free us fron the tyranny of Donald Trump, VI, and unleashes pure socialist hegemony.

That'd make a decent TL, if anyone wants to try it.

0% chance this happens. People like AOC stay in the House (or, hell, even the Senate) for a long time and become the establishment.

[LabourJersey]

I can see her becoming Mayor of New York in 2025 or so, or possibly the Senate. I don't see her going all the way to the White House, though.

[TML]

I wouldn't say for sure what future elected office(s) she will hold, but based on what I've seen so far, she definitely has the potential to be President at some point.

If she were to run, however, I think the most likely timeframe would be some time in the 2030s-2040s.

[NewYorkExpress]

She'll either get elected Mayor of New York City, Governor of New York, or Senator.

However, America isn't going to elect Bernie Sanders anytime soon, and Ocasio Cortez is much the same (plus racists would come out of the woodwork and try to attack/kill her if she ran for President).

I honestly don't see her becoming mayor, governor or senator.

I think that she will be a long-time House member.

Most likely variant.

[Orser67]

She's in her 20s and already has a national following, so I certainly wouldn't rule out her becoming president at some point in the next 50 years.

But she's probably too left-wing even for a Democratic primary, and I don't see her becoming POTUS in the foreseeable future.

She won't be president and neither will any of these super progressive "democrats"

I could see her running for governor after Cuomo is out, but president? 2032 at the earliest.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

She's 27 years old. She's not eligible to run until she's 35, so i think at the very earliest it will be 2028. I think it's unlikely she will run than, but she might try to run for senate or governor at some point. I think she will stay in the house for like 20 years probably now, and she could run for a higher office somewhere in the 2030's and for president possibly in 2040's.

The problem is that AOC will face almost 30 years of negative coverage in the process of running for higher office, and as the Democratic Party will be moving to the left (esp. on social issues), her ideas will become more established. I don't think her persona and her position will make it easy for her to ever become president. I mean if she was eligible to run, she would have no chance to be elected. She clearly knows that, and she doesn't have the intention to do that as well.

My bet would be never, and it's not necessarily a bad thing. She is able to do more as a congressmember i believe.

I have a hard time imagining her to run for governor. It will probably be someone else. She also has less political influence as a governor, so i don't think that will happen, although she will be a high profile politician (and she already is, because she influences the Democratic Party, and act as a 'leader' of the progressive wing). A governor is usually more "moderate" or more "centrist" than house or senate members, especially from the Democratic Party. I don't see it happening, and i don't think it would be a good idea either.

It's not impossible that she'll shift to the right on issues. She's still young. Who knows who she will be in 20 years. I mean look at Sinema or Gillibrand.
