From Fox News: FiveThirtyEight founder and prominent pollster Nate Silver has a bold take: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is most likely the next Democratic presidential candidate.
In a video posted to his “Silver Bulletin” website on Wednesday, Silver and political podcaster Galen Druke came up with draft picks for the Democratic Party’s next presidential nominee and settled on AOC being the strongest contender.
“My first pick of the first-round draft is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” Druke said.
“F— you! That was going to be my f—ing first pick!,” Silver responded, adding, “We both are on the AOC bus.” Earlier, he said his first pick likely had at best a “20% chance” to be the nominee, indicating it was far from a confident prediction.
Silver has reportedly listed his top 3 predictions for 2028 Democratic presidential nominee as:
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY)
- PA Gov. Josh Shapiro
- Sen. Cory Booker (NJ)
