She probably won't garner over 10% of the electorate but her message deserves attention.

One recent AtlasIntel survey found that at Ocasio-Cortez is pacing a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary field at 26%. She was followed by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (22.4%) California Governor Gavin Newsom (21.2%), and former Vice President Kamala Harris (12.9%).

Let somebody else oust Schumer with her support. Truly she can wrap up the nomination before rhe new york primaries and back a strong primary opponent to him like Lander.
