What was said
"I think it's gotta be AOC, based on conventional wisdom and her outsized influence on American college campuses."
Vice President J.D. Vance told Michael Knowles he views Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the leading Democrat heading into the 2028 presidential race, citing her influence on college campuses. When reporters asked AOC for her response on Capitol Hill, she stumbled through her answer, ultimately saying she hopes Vance himself gets the Republican nomination. Vance later deflected questions about 2028, saying his focus remains on delivering results for the American people now.
