Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declines to rule out 2028 challenge to Chuck Schumer

Progressive Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 36, told the New York Times she would not rule out challenging Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, 75, in 2028 when his term ends. Asked about a possible primary even if Democrats regain the Senate majority, she said she would "cross that bridge when I get to it" and that her decisions would not hinge on deference to party leadership.
