Progressives Launch ‘Ready for AOC’ Ahead of 2028
The group has recruited more than 500 local leaders in 35 states and aims to gather 1 million signatures for a possible 2028 campaign.
- On Monday, Ready for AOC launched a volunteer-powered nationwide push to encourage Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president, stating, "AOC is the only candidate who can lead the working-class movement."
- Progressives are capitalizing on a wave of midterm victories last week to build grassroots infrastructure for a movement they believe can defeat monied interests and secure popular policies like Medicare for All.
- Ready has already recruited more than 500 local political leaders in 35 states and is hosting "house meetings" of 10-20 friends to gather at least 1 million pledged signatures supporting a presidential bid.
- Ocasio-Cortez is weighing a presidential bid against a potential run to unseat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in 2028, with supporters aiming to demonstrate a movement exists behind her.
- A December poll by The Argument and Verasight showed Ocasio-Cortez leading Vice President Vance 51%-49%, positioning her as a potential challenger to President Donald Trump's MAGA agenda in 2028.
