I read an article just this week that AOC is the lead candidate for the next presidential election.  Point being, if true, it doesn't matter, because the GoP will rip her apart.  She is NY and too left.  

This was the first poll she was actually leading, almost all the others were either Harris or Newsom, with one for Buttigieg in March. She was actually polling mostly around 10% before this poll where she got 26% and Harris less than 13%

It's also not clear if she actually will run, chances are she'll primary Chuck Schumer in the Senate instead, which could actually be much more beneficial for the democrats if Schumer is out and someone else like Buttigieg became president.

My hypothesis is running anyone from California or New York is a bad idea.  I don't think it will resonate with middle America, which is where democrats are getting slaughtered.  

The last time a Democrat from New York or California won the presidency was 1940...
