In April it was reported that Ocasio-Cortez was taking steps that could position her for a potential 2028 presidential run, while also working to strengthen support among progressive voters who have raised concerns about her political direction, according to a report.

The New York Democrat is also said to be weighing a possible Senate bid. In recent months, she has adopted a more critical stance on U.S. policy toward Israel, including opposing certain forms of funding, a shift that allies and observers say is aimed at rebuilding ties with the party’s left wing, Axios reported.
