New: I asked AOC how she's thinking about the future of the progressive movement as she weighs a White House run. In the last two open Democratic presidential primaries, there's been a clear progressive standard-bearer, and many on the left think she's their only hope for 2028.
She didn't seem persuaded that by that argument: "The movement is so much bigger than any one person."
She suggested that her choice won't be solely about ideology: "These decisions aren't always about punditry or ideology. It's about putting the country first," she said. "What's important is ending … the corrupt reign of the Trump administration, as well as any of its acolytes."
Asked whether that means she's weighing "electability" as she determines her next move, she replied, "I don't see who wouldn't."
