Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) stated that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) making a run for the presidency in 2028 wouldn’t affect his own potential choice to do so, while veteran Democratic strategist James Carville noted that the Democratic Party faces an ideological 'reckoning' in 2028 but rejected the idea that primary voters will choose a Democratic socialist presidential nominee.
