众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科特茨的政治前途一直是左翼圈内的热议话题，且越来越多人猜测她可能与国会民主党最高领导人走向对立。
这位进步派政坛明星表示，她正在权衡下一步行动，无论是2028年竞选总统，还是角逐现任参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默所持有的席位——舒默也是民主党同僚，同样来自纽约州。
“我知道外界对我2028年的决定有诸多猜测，几乎每场采访和活动都会被问到这个问题，”奥卡西奥-科特茨在最近发给支持者的筹款邮件中写道。
这位拥有庞大社交媒体影响力的36岁议员在近期接受《纽约时报》采访时表示，她的决定可能会在今年中期选举后某个时间点做出，最终将归结于回答“我在哪里能发挥最大作用？”这一问题。

如果她选择参选州级公职而非全国性职位，那么她与即将年满76岁的舒默之间可能会爆发一场民主党内部的激烈对决和代际战争。舒默近半个世纪前首次当选国会议员，自1999年起就在参议院任职。
奥卡西奥-科特茨在采访中明确表示，她2028年的决定不会由他人左右。
“我不认为我的决定会是出于顺从他人，”她说。
与此同时，奥卡西奥-科特茨过去几天在纽约上州开展的竞选行程引发了一些关注。尽管此次行程旨在为今年选举中的其他民主党候选人助选，但也引发了猜测，认为这也是奥卡西奥-科特茨在远离纽约市基本盘的地区建立人脉的举措。
舒默尚未公开其2028年的计划，也未宣布是否会寻求连任。当被问及连任事宜时，他多次表示“我的首要任务是赢得2026年的选举，在2026年夺回参议院多数席位”。
福克斯新闻数字频道就舒默是否考虑2028年再次参选一事联系了舒默的办公室，但在本文发稿前未收到回复。

但据熟悉纽约州政治格局的资深民主党战略家的猜测，奥卡西奥-科特茨与舒默之间潜在的党内冲突可能永远不会发生。这些战略家怀疑，即使民主党在11月的中期选举中夺回参议院多数席位，舒默也不会寻求连任。
“每个人都有任期上限，”一位战略家表示，与其他受访者一样，他要求匿名以便畅所欲言。
在谈及奥卡西奥-科特茨时，这位战略家告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“我认为她在州级选举中处于有利位置。”
另一位幕僚在谈到舒默时猜测：“我认为舒默希望功成身退，留下良好的政治遗产，而将接力棒交给这位鼓舞人心的新一代领导人就是实现这一目标的一种方式。与此同时，纽约政坛乱象丛生，有很多人觊觎这个席位，他可能会觉得自己无法做到这一点。”

“在对待她的问题上，他一直相当精明，”这位幕僚指出，“当其他民主党人还在接纳她的时候……他是纽约代表团中最早对她表示欢迎、态度友善，并在新冠疫情期间与她合作推动立法的议员之一。”
根据昆尼皮亚克大学9月17日至20日开展的民调，舒默在纽约选民中的支持率深陷负值区间，为36%对54%。这位参议员的好感度同样不容乐观，为34%对51%。
与此同时，41%的帝国州（纽约州别称）选民对奥卡西奥-科特茨好感度正面，36%的受访者持负面看法。
“他曾是顶级的亲民政客。成为领袖后，他变成了华盛顿的‘沼泽生物’，这开始削弱他在老家的人气，”第三位民主党战略家在评价舒默时说道。
马达尼回避奥卡西奥-科特茨是否应在2028年挑战舒默的问题
舒默的短期目标是在中期选举中夺回参议院多数席位。
当被问及这一前景是否会让挑战舒默变得更加困难时，奥卡西奥-科特茨告诉《纽约时报》：“老实说，这将是我们国家能遇到的最棒的问题。”
“我们正在努力争取实现这个目标，等走到那一步再过桥吧，”她补充道。

近期发给支持者的筹款短信似乎在抨击民主党建制派，而舒默正是该建制派的一员。不过她在短信中并未点名任何特定人士。
“建制派认为，获胜的唯一途径是：不要颠覆现状，不要对抗掌控我们国家的贪婪集中势力，反而要把大部分时间花在为强大的捐赠者筹款上，”短信中写道，“但亚历山大的竞选团队在2018年并没有遵循建制派的套路赢得选举。”
另一条短信称，她2018年的胜利“对当时存在且至今依然存在的典型华盛顿权力结构构成了威胁”。

AOC gives major hint about 2028 as Democrat civil war looms
September 28, 2026 10:07am EDT / Fox News
The New York progressive says her decision will come down to ‘where can I do the most good’
‘The Big Money Show’ panel discusses Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s potential run for president in 2028. FOX Business’ Dagen McDowell says AOC is ‘very full of herself.’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s political future has remained a topic of discussion within the left wing — and there’s increasing speculation that she could be set for a collision course with Democrats’ top leader in Congress.
The progressive rock star says she’s weighing what to do next, whether it be a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the seat currently held by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a fellow Democrat and New Yorker.
“I know there is a lot of speculation about what I will decide to do in 2028. I get asked about it nearly every interview and event,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a recent fundraising email to supporters.
The 36-year-old lawmaker with a massive social media footprint said in a recent New York Times interview that her decision, which could happen sometime after this year’s midterm elections, would come down to answering the question, “Where can I do the most good?”

If she decides on a statewide rather than a national run, it could set up a titanic Democratic Party and generational battle between her and the soon-to-be 76-year-old Schumer, who was first elected to Congress nearly half a century ago and has served in the Senate since 1999.
Ocasio-Cortez, in her interview, made clear that her decision about 2028 would not be dictated by someone else.
“I don’t think that my decisions would come down to deference,” she said.
Meanwhile, a campaign swing the past few days throughout upstate New York by Ocasio-Cortez raised some eyebrows. While the trip was aimed at boosting fellow Democrats on the ballot in this year’s elections, it sparked speculation that it was also a move by Ocasio-Cortez to build relationships far from her base in New York City.
Schumer has left his 2028 plans open and has not announced whether he’ll run for yet another term. When asked about re-election, he’s repeatedly said his “first focus is winning in 2026, getting back the Senate in 2026.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer’s office regarding his thinking on a potential 2028 re-election run, but didn’t receive a response by the time this story was published.

But a potential intra-party clash between Ocasio-Cortez and Schumer may never materialize, according to speculation from plugged-in Democratic strategists familiar with the New York state political landscape, who doubt Schumer will seek re-election even if his party wins back the Senate majority in November’s midterms.
“Everyone has an expiration date,” said one strategist, who like the others asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely.
And referring to Ocasio-Cortez, the strategist told Fox News Digital, “I think she’s in a good position to win statewide.”
Another operative, pointing to Schumer, speculated, “I think Schumer wants to go out on top and with a good legacy and one way to do that is to hand the reins over to this inspiring generational leader. At the same time, New York politics are insane and there are lots of people gunning for that spot and he may feel like he can’t do that.”

“He’s always been pretty smart when it came to her,” the operative noted. “As other Dems were still warming to her… he was one of the first members of the New York delegation to be very welcoming and thoughtful and worked with her on legislation during COVID.”
Schumer’s approval ratings among New York voters are deep into negative territory at 36%-54%, according to a Quinnipiac University poll conducted Sept. 17-20. The senator’s favorable ratings were also underwater, at 34%-51%.
Meanwhile, 41% of Empire State voters viewed Ocasio-Cortez favorably, with 36% seeing her in an unfavorable light.
“He was the supreme retail politician. Once he became leader, he became a swamp creature from Washington and it started to chip away at his popularity back home,” a third Democratic strategist said of Schumer.
MAMDANI SIDESTEPS WHETHER AOC SHOULD CHALLENGE SCHUMER IN 2028
Schumer’s short-term goal is to win back the Senate majority in the midterms.
Asked if that prospect would make potentially challenging Schumer more difficult, Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times, “That would honestly be the best possible problem we could have as a country.”
“We’re working hard to have that problem, and I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it,” she added.

Recent fundraising text messages sent to supporters appeared to take jabs at the Democratic establishment, of which Schumer is a part. She did not name any particular person in the notes, however.
“The establishment believes that there’s only one path to winning: Don’t upset the status quo, don’t stand up to the concentration of greed taking over our country, and instead spend most of your time fundraising from powerful donors,” it read. “But Alexandria’s campaign didn’t win in 2018 by following the establishment playbook.”
Another message said her 2018 victory “represented a threat to the typical D.C. power structure that existed back then and still exists now.”
