Massive smile, even greater delusional goals, and with bionic girl self-restraint, the coquettish Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) managed to maintain these lips zipped when requested on The Late Present with Steven Colbert whether or not she’d run within the 2024 presidential election. In fact, dodging questions whereas flirting can solely imply she’s significantly contemplating a tryout for the largest present on earth: Nicely, now that Barnum and Bailey hit the skids.
The host broached the topic with a nod to questions on a Biden second time period: “You realize, there’s some hypothesis as as to if President Biden goes to run in 2024. There’s some studies he’s a little pissed off that folks maintain asking as a result of he retains on saying ‘sure,’ and other people go, ‘Are you certain? Are you certain?’”
Colbert is a pushy fellow when looking for affirmation of his ideas and poked the lass, “You realize, I do know someone who’s going to show 35 a couple of month earlier than the election in 2024, and they symbolize New York’s 14th. Is that job interesting to you at all?” Artful speaking head, that one.
It’s Nonetheless the Constitutional Republic
AOC, as she is named attributable to an unwieldy and lengthy title, acted foolish (sillier) and seemed round, below and behind the sofa, looking for that newly 35-year-old potential candidate. Progressives throughout the large cities squealed in unison for the favored woman as she dodged the query. It was eerily paying homage to Invoice Clinton whipping out his saxophone on the Arsenio Corridor Present in 1992 earlier than profitable the presidential election the next November. But she demurely shook her head no – or one thinks. After which pulled a card from her personal tried and true Rolodex of sticky-situation speaking factors:
“Hear, I feel that we have to give attention to conserving a democracy for anyone to be president within the subsequent couple of years. And that’s my central focus helps the folks of this nation proper now.”
So shut, however these United States are nonetheless within the throes of the nice experiment: The Constitutional Republic, of and by the folks. Until the nation elects AOC in 2024 – then all bets are off.
Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall
All this nonsense started when a New York Instances report hinted that the president was angered by repeated questions on whether or not he would search a second time period, as Colbert alluded. Activist media instantly circled like vultures. Each primetime, morning present, and community section flocked to any Democrat keen to talk on the age of Mr. Biden and the probability of one other non-basement, grueling marketing campaign. And since there are increasingly progressive sorts influencing the Social gathering, speaking heads are asking the powerful questions. The Good Morning America crew even floated the concept of a Hillary rerun, however the traction was by no means achieved.

And the place does AOC stand concerning the Biden-Harris ticket in 2024: “We’ll cross that bridge after we get to it.” So, not an endorsement of the present administration. And that’s why that wily Colbert circled again like Jen Psaki, insisting that “it’s potential, it’s potential.”
Peer Strain?
AOC is clearly probably the most sought-after progressive darling. However the outdated guard of Democrats nonetheless holds the magic mud. Maybe the younger congresswoman is just not assured sufficient to step up and run for president. However, however, she might desire a quiet life, married, with youngsters, residing within the suburbs, and driving her electrical automobile to soccer observe. She shared with CNN’s Dana Bash a yr in the past on pursuing loftier political positions: “I battle with it as a result of I don’t need little women watching or something like that to, like, to decrease their sights or something in that route. However for me, I really feel that if that have been within the scope of my ambition it might chip away at my braveness in the present day.”
However she didn’t say “no” then, and he or she’s lower than endorsing her boss in the present day. So, AOC may really imagine she has a shot at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Lord, have mercy, the circus is again on the town.
