DSA’s Democratic Party Takeover Plan: AOC 2028 Bid, Mamdani Aide Says

Cruz said El-Sayed’s win would weaken the case that Ocasio-Cortez is too progressive to win nationally, while prediction markets keep her among top contenders.

  • On Wednesday, Oct. 28, Republican Senator Ted Cruz campaigned in Michigan, predicting that Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's Senate victory would boost U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's chances in the 2028 presidential election.
  • Campaigning for Republican Mike Rogers, Cruz alleged El-Sayed has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood, claiming victory would shift the Democratic caucus left; El-Sayed has repeatedly denied these allegations, calling them rooted in Islamophobia.
  • A WDIV-TV/Detroit News poll released Tuesday found El-Sayed leading Rogers 51.4 percent to 45.1 percent, while Cruz told the crowd in Imlay City that an El-Sayed win would signal a shift toward "full on commie" politics.
  • El-Sayed campaign spokesperson Cole Wozniak denounced Cruz as a "deeply unpopular politician" and characterized the remarks as a distraction from failed Trump administration policies on gas and grocery prices.
  • Although Ocasio-Cortez has not announced a 2028 campaign, her presidential prospects remain a topic of speculation as prediction markets place her among leading contenders and various Democratic Socialists of America chapters have passed resolutions encouraging her to run.
