‘She cannot be this stupid’! Axios apparently has reason to believe that AOC might be getting too big for her britches

You probably aren’t going to believe this, but it seems that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be starting to get too big for her designer britches. According to Axios, AOC may be looking at a possible Senate run … against Chuck Schumer or Kirsten Gillibrand:

Now, it’s important to note that Axios is basing this on unnamed “top Democrats” pushing for an AOC Senate run, a poll showing growing support for socialism, especially among women, and the fact that the more progressive wing of the Democratic Party has embraced AOC with open arms. But Axios doesn’t appear to have much evidence that AOC is seriously thinking about pursuing a Senate career. More:

Corbin Trent, Ocasio-Cortez’s communications director, said that when she thinks down the road, she thinks in terms of transitioning Democrats to a party that’s unified around progressive policies.

As to eventually challenging one of the New York senators, Trent said: “Having worked on her campaign, I don’t think we’re going to be moving to a different role any time soon.”

Be smart: AOC fits great downstate and thrives nationally, but a New York poll by Siena College in March showed she could struggle statewide.

Gillibrand and Schumer are pretty content to pat AOC on the head right now, but does anyone else get the feeling that they wouldn’t just roll over for her if she decided to go up against them?
