As President Joe Biden faces a growing drumbeat of pressure to drop his reelection bid, most Democrats think his vice president would make a good president herself.
AOC’s district is dark blue. It won’t effect the votes much. It would raise AOCs profile if she has ambitions for POTUS but that’s so many hypotheticals.
The most immediate impact is that it would motivate the base. Dems need voter turnout to win. 2 women lashing the Republicans over abortion rights is a winner imo on top of AOCs popularity with the base. There are sound reasons for it. Not saying I think it’s a good idea though.
She is a unique voice in Congress that cannot just be replaced by some generic Democrat.
I would feel absolutely terrible to doom her to the position of VP. Nobody of her talents, charisma, convictions, etc. should ever be made to become irrelevant as a VP. It’s a curse.
