Juan Williams threatens - If Trump and the GOP keep this up, AOC is going to be president [View all]

Say hello to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Say hello to a blue wave in the 2026 midterms. Say hello in 2028 to President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

If President Trump and congressional Republicans keep this up, it will only be the start of the progressive takeover.

Left-wing populists are already winning over voters by raising hell about the rising price of clothes and groceries due to tariffs. The growing appetite for populist left voices damning the high cost of living made headlines earlier this year in the successful “Fighting Oligarchy,” tour featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez.

Poll numbers also make the case that voters are frustrated with Trump’s failed promise to deal with inflation. The same angst is evident in declining consumer confidence.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I don't know if she has the ambition to run. Don't know if she'd win if she did so.

I just know I wouldn't have a problem with her.
