Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez holds a slight lead over Vice President JD Vance in a hypothetical 2028 presidential matchup, according to a new poll.

The New York Democratic congresswoman, known as AOC, edges the likely Republican nominee 51% to 49%, in The Argument/Verasight survey released on Tuesday. However, the result was within the poll’s 2.7 percentage point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. The poll asked voters who they would vote for if the election was between the two of them.

    I had no idea who this JD Vance person was until he became trump’s running mate. Dude you’re not popular or interesting on your own. Don’t act like people actually like you, couch fucking baby.

      You’ve been flying blind. JD’s been the spectre haunting American politics since the Obama Era. That creepy little turd’s backed his way up the drainpipe of American politics with the help of everyone from James Dobson to Oprah. He’s the Republicans’ Hillary Clinton.

        He’s a Peter Thiel project. They met when Vance was in either college or law school. Shillbilly never would have met any of those people without Thiel’s help. Probably would never even have gotten a book deal trashing his family.
