Election guru Nate Silver who lost much of his credibility for his 2024 election prediction has now come up with a way too early prediction for the Democratic party in the 2028 election. New York Rep. Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the Democratic pick for the next presidential election, Silver said in his newsletter alongside former FiveThirtyEight podcast host Garlen Druke who also picked AOC.
“I think there’s a lot of points in her favor at this very moment,” Druke noted. “In a Yale poll just out this week, AOC has the highest net favorability rating of any of the Democrats that they asked about.”
“I agree with everything,” said Silver, the founder of FiveThirtyEight. “She was going to be my first pick…Because of some of the polling; because she has this kind of progressive lane, probably not to herself; because she is younger and media savvy. I mean, look, in polls, if she were to try to primary Chuck Schumer, she is now ahead in those polls, and New York Democrats are actually a pretty moderate bloc.”
Silver said she was not sure whether AOC would even mount a campaign and it's too early for a prediction three years and three months ahead but AOC has the maximum favorability rating.
Both Druke and Silver picked Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as their second-most likely nominee, with Druke going for former Vice President Kamala Harris for his third choice, while Silver went for New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.
It's no wonder that George Clooney has also revealed his favorite pick for the 2028 election but it's not AOC -- it's Marryland Governor Wes Moore.
What is AOC doing right now? Fighting oligarchy
Kamala Harris' defeat created a vacuum in the party leadership, though former president Joe Biden expressed his willingness to resume party activities. AOC emerged as the most vocal leader and Trump-Elon Musk critic as she hit the streets along with Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) to ' fight oligarchy '. She has been criticized for flying business class to take part in these 'Fighting Oligarchy' events.
