Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has closed the door to a 2024 Senate run, according to her spokesperson.

"She is not planning to run for Senate in 2024. She is not planning to primary Gillibrand," Lauren Hitt, Ocasio-Cortez's spokesperson, told Politico.

AOC's possible candidacy was one of the only roadblocks to Gillibrand sailing to reelection, The Hill reported. With the superstar New York Representative declining to challenge the Democratic senator, one of Gillibrand's strongest possible challengers is no longer a threat to her campaign.

In 2021, Ocasio-Cortez told Insider she didn't want her legions of adoring, progressive fans dreaming of her toppling House or Senate leadership — or even winning the White House.

"That's a lot to put on one person," she said.

Too bad, it would have been a good indicator of have far off the cliff all of New York has gone. We know her district has no hope, but the rest of the state?  Besides, I really don't see a difference between her and Gillibrand, well, AOC is probably be more entertaining.  :lol:

I really didn't know what to make of it outside of a bag payoff for the Marxist AOC.

Yep, by the very people who put her in office. I wonder how many remember she was part of an audition process for Marxist candidates? :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
