Besides gaming with Hasan, Majority Report and Pod Save, I can’t recall her going on a podcast in the last couple years.

She has a massive online platform so she does her IG lives which get hundreds of thousands or millions of views.

It tells me she isn’t going to run for POTUS.

Whereas Ro Khanna is on every podcast, does a a one hour national progressive town hall with Thom Hartmann every couple weeks, goes on every cable channel, and does the Sunday shows. I don’t think he’s going to win a primary but he’s clearly going to run.


The following point was made by Krystal Ball and I agree: if AOC has presidential ambitions, she has to put herself out there and get more experience taking tough questions from adversarial people. Now is the time to polish her skills and get ready for prime time. If she doesn't do that and attempts to run for president, she will probably have some bad interviews/debates and flop.

I know some people who know her and I’ve heard that she’s leaning against it. She’s eyeing the U.S. Senate seat.

There’s a ton of pressure on her to run for POTUS.

I could see that.

Who do you think the left will rally around if she passes?

If she opts not to jump in

I think the left will rally around Khanna.

Esp if the choices are Newsom, Buttigieg, Kamala, Shapiro, and Kelly.

Khanna is doing a much better job putting himself out there than AOC. However, I feel like he will have trouble garnering mass support among primary voters. I think he can connect with the same kinds of people who supported Elizabeth Warren in 2020 (people who are not necessarily well off, but tend to be more educated), but I have doubts that he can expand beyond that.

This is legitimately a woat field smh


It's even more WOAT when you remember that Rahm Emanuel, Cory Booker and JB Pritzker have expressed strong interest.

The saving grace is that the "centrist" lane will be packed and it might allow a more progressive type to sneak through. Having said that, I think there would be behind-the-scenes efforts to coalesce around a centrist type if it looks like that might happen (just as in 2020).

Depending on ro khanna is probably the definition of pouring jelly on yourself. He might not make it out the first month
