Is AOC Preparing to Challenge Chuck Schumer?

Nothing is off the table. Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has not ruled out the idea of making a run for Senate in the future, the very seat currently held by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The progressive “Squad” member was asked if she believed Schumer is doing a good job in his role. Ocasio-Cortex was hesitant to review Schumer’s work but had no problem pointing blame towards President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Fox News reports:

“It’s a hard thing to say, too. We’ve had to deal with a fascist president and Mitch McConnell,” she told Punchbowl News. “There are things you can do in the minority. There are also things you couldn’t do with this minority because Senate rules changed.”

“I like to think of myself as a good-faith actor and not make unfair critiques. But I do wonder,” Ocasio-Cortez continued.

Ocasio-Cortez may be a star on social media, but her political power is still limited. In December, the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee voted to seat Rep. Kathleen Rice on a coveted committee over Ocasio-Cortez, her New York colleague, in the latest example of House Democrats bucking the firebrand who represents the Bronx and Queens.

This is not the first time that Ocasio-Cortez has declined to rule out interest in Schumer’s seat. In April, when asked if she’d rule out a run against the most powerful Democrat in the U.S. Senate in 2022, she replied: “I don’t know.”

What do you think AOC will do in the future? Stay in her current place or make a major power grab? One sounds much more likely for the Democrat.



  1. Mute point. ALL DEMOCRATS and MAJORITY of REPUBLICANS will be facing treason, sedition and insurrection charges.

  2. ALL corrupt democommunists need to be “removed” from office. We the people do NOT want a communist-controlled cesspool “ruling” us.

    1. Sadly seems we cannot do anything about the corrupt government. They can do what they want and tell us what to do also and nothing can be done. No way to get them out!

    1. Jerry, so am I. I am going to change my designation to Independent. That way I will be ready when President Trump starts the Patriot Party and with any luck, the Red States can split off an become their own country and NO RINOS allowed. The blue dims will hate it because then they would have no one to hate, punish, bully and enslave. Wouldn’t this be a great country?

  3. A star on multi-media – NO, she definitely is not. A fascist President – NO, again AOC needs to take a few days out to visit a local library and read-up on Mussolini and gain some knowledge about fascist. Cannot believe she doesn’t need help tieing her shoes in the morning.

  4. Wow another socialist democrat. She’ll do anything not to go back to that studio apartment in NY. After all what is that noise??? Oh it’s a garbage disposal…. Sounds a lot like her. After all why do we need farmers when the supermarkets supply us with food……..

  5. AOC is an ignorant bimbo. She didn’t even know the 3 branches of government and she’s supposedly has a college degree. How did she get a college degree? My guess is the college gave her a pass because of her color. That’s probably the same reason the college accepted her application. It’s really a sad day that flunkies can buffalo voters and get elected.

    1. Ah, the ignorant troll raises its ugly head. Go back to your cave of ignorance; you have nothing intelligent to say!

  6. Nancy may have made a big mistake. AOC is as crazy and power hungry as Nancy … Cat fight in the making ? Maybe they can keep each “entertained” lol !!!!

  7. She is totally ignorant. She has an economic degree in economics from Boston U and she believes that full employment is due to people who have more than one job. She probably wasted 4 year of her life. She would have been better of being a full time bartender> she would have made more money

    1. Can anyone find out IF she actually graduated from Boston Univ? How could she afford a private school like Boston U? The tution is around %%K, in state i believe! She had to get accepted b/c she told them she was a minority, because she is PR! Raised in Westchester, NY. An abouve average town, money6 wise. She was not poor! And her Mother did not cleans houses, her grand,pther did in PR, many years ago. She is a dem, she lies like a rug!

  8. AOC is truly delusional! The American people don’t want her either!!!! She lives in her own little self-serving, entitled world. New Yorkers, get real and stop putting people like this in office. She doesn’t represent you, only herself!!!!

  9. I HAVE A SUGGESTION, PERHAPS COTEZ COULD LEAVE SCHUMER ALONE AND WORK ON GETTING RID OF PELOSI…I KNOW WRONG STATE..

  10. IT SEEMS THE DEMS ARE TRYING TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE.. ANYONE WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR INDEPENDENCE? I DON’T

  11. Democraps Absolutely Obtuse Cortez (AOC) vs. Chucky Schumer? What a gross choice, like the Pit or the Pendulum!

  12. Methinks that supid shitz “college graduate” is too stupid to get the job done.
    She’d be “Clintonized” long before it could be.

  13. You got aoc, and schmucker. What the heck ya thinking. Fire them. Aoc is NOTHING, BUT AS USELESS AS TITS ON A BOAR. AND SCHMUCKER IS A LIEING TREASONOUS RAT ALONG WITH OBAMASSHOLE, PIGLEOSI, ROMNEY, NADLER, AHHHHHH HELL THE LIST GOES ON. IN GOD WE TRUST. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸. 🇺🇸. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN 🙏

  14. Interesting how the Democrats always blame the Republicans for being what the Democrats really are. It appears that the Democrats hate themselves more than they hate the Republicans, only they don’t recognize it, because they get their information from CNN and the like who purposely reverses the truth. That way, when the tables turn, and they always do, CNN et.al. can claim that their words were purposely twisted.

  15. Maybe she will go after Schumer and they both will implode. It would be nice to get rid of 2 at one time. There would still be to many of them left.

  16. C’mon squad….. you all been disappointing us!!!
    Now is the time to step up and STAND UP!!
    Time to retire those senile old goats pelosi and Schumer and nadler and Hastings and Johnson and so many more.
    All of you young progressives…. socialism is yours. America is your oyster!!!
    Young Americans idolize you and they cannot wait until your policies are controlling their lives.
    Now is the time, let them know who’s running the New Democrats!!!!!

  17. AOC running for the Senate is one way to unseat her. She would not have the same appeal state-wide in New York State as in the Bronx and Queens and if she tries to jump to the Senate, leaving her House seat behind, it would probably be “a bridge too far”.

  18. Everyone should close tweeter, FB, Instagram accounts, dump their stock if own any before they are worthless, stop buying from Amazon, buy direct from the seller/merchant don’t wait.

  19. Ms. Bright Red Lipstick, aka Sandy Cortez is no real threat to any of the “grown-ups” in Congress. It’s hard to take anything she says seriously as she speaks with the voice of an eleven year old girl.
