Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) could emerge as a formidable contender in the 2028 presidential race, according to Monica Crowley, a former Trump administration official, who highlighted the congresswoman’s media savvy and grassroots appeal during a Friday appearance on Fox News.
Speaking with guest host Lisa Boothe on The Ingraham Angle, Crowley analyzed Ocasio-Cortez’s outreach efforts, including her use of Instagram to connect with voters. “She’s an early adopter of social media, and it’s allowed her to connect directly to voters,” Crowley said, noting that Ocasio-Cortez’s accessibility and engagement mirror tactics employed by Donald Trump.
Crowley acknowledged the Republican Party’s recent victories, framing the 2024 election as a rejection of “communism” and “wokeness.” However, she cautioned her party not to dismiss Ocasio-Cortez’s political prospects. “She’s young, vibrant, and attractive,” Crowley said. “While I think she’s wrong on everything, she has real grassroots support. The energy and activism within the Democratic Party remain with the revolutionary left, and she is part of that movement.”
Crowley further warned that Republicans have historically underestimated charismatic Democratic candidates, citing Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden as examples. “Let’s not make that mistake again,” she urged.

You may not like to hear it, but Trump represents an extreme, at least to the other side. He’s extremely distasteful to those who don’t support him. It’s not like I don’t know, Mitt Romney, John McCain or even Bush, where the people on the opposing side were pretty much “meh” about them. There wasn’t really a furori about them. I remember people saying Bush was dumb. I don’t remember people saying he was a threat to democracy and potentially signaled the beginning of the end for America. Trump inspired a sort of extreme reaction, both times he stood. The only candidate I can remember who came close to inspiring an extreme reaction like that from the other side was Obama. I Imagine that was largely to do with his being a black president. But it doesn’t matter what the reason really was. The thing I came to say is this: One candidate that caused an extreme reaction to his candidacy was followed by an opposing candidate that caused a more extreme reaction to his candidacy. I think that given their experiment with Biden failed, it’s eminently reasonable to fear that the pendulum could swing back forcefully – and far – in the other direction next time round.
She would be a candidates such as George McGovern or Walter Mondale (or Barry Goldwater or Alf Landon), and she won’t even have Trump to run against.

The democrat party is toast
