AOC may challenge Schumer in 2028 Senate primary

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's support for a Republican spending bill has angered many Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This decision may open the door for Ocasio-Cortez to challenge Schumer in the 2028 Senate primary. Schumer's backing of the bill, which aims to prevent a government shutdown, contrasts with House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' opposition. Ocasio-Cortez has publicly criticized Schumer's actions, calling them a "tremendous mistake." Ocasio-Cortez, a prominent progressive figure, has gained support from some Democrats to run against Schumer. Her strong fundraising ability and appeal to younger voters could make her a serious contender in the upcoming primary.
