Far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker<\/a> selected Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., over a slate of prominent Democrats as his preferred 2028 presidential candidate on Wednesday \u2014 arguing that AOC could excite the Democratic Party<\/a>‘s base and bring infrequent voters into a winning coalition.<\/p>\n

When asked to choose between Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> and Rep. Ro Khanna<\/a>, D-Calif., as his preferred candidate, Piker immediately selected the New York congresswoman.<\/p>\n

“AOC. It’s not even a question,” Piker said during a Zeteo interview<\/a> with Mehdi Hasan.<\/p>\n

KAMALA HARRIS IS THE ‘FAIRLY OBVIOUS’ 2028 PRESIDENTIAL FRONTRUNNER, DEMOCRATIC INSIDERS SAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Piker made the choice at the end of a rapid-fire exercise that began with California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. The list later included former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, former Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.<\/p>\n

Piker said Ocasio-Cortez stood apart from the other potential contenders presented to him.<\/p>\n

“AOC is, out of all of the people that you mentioned,” Piker said. “AOC is the only one that I would like.”<\/p>\n

Piker acknowledged that her race and gender could present electoral obstacles but rejected the argument that they would make victory impossible.<\/p>\n

“These are hurdles, yes,” Piker said. “But these are hurdles that one can clear.”<\/p>\n

Piker argued Ocasio-Cortez could overcome those barriers by campaigning with conviction and reaching voters who do not regularly participate in elections.<\/p>\n

“As long as you have moral conviction, as long as you can excite the base, as long as you can actually create a unique coalition and activate low-propensity voters,” Piker said. “Which I think AOC has the capacity to do, it would be a fantastic left candidate.”<\/p>\n

SOCIALISM\u2019S RISE INSIDE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW THREATENS THE AMERICAN DREAM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He compared Ocasio-Cortez favorably with Sen. Bernie Sanders<\/a>, I-Vt., whose presidential campaign helped elevate democratic socialism<\/a> within the party.<\/p>\n

“It would be a fantastic left candidate, even better than Bernie in many ways,” Piker said.<\/p>\n

Piker also offered criticism of Ocasio-Cortez’s political presentation. He said she had been effective on social media and willing to take progressive positions in Congress<\/a> but argued she could appear too concerned with optics.<\/p>\n

“The way she carries herself, I think, is a little bit too, like, optics-driven, too liberal and too optics-driven,” Piker said. “I think she doesn\u2019t harness the populist rage in the way that she communicates.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to Ocasio-Cortez for comment but did not immediately hear back.<\/p>\n

Ocasio-Cortez has not announced a 2028 campaign<\/a> and said in May that she had not decided whether to run for president. She had increased her national travel, endorsements and campaign appearances, including a recent Michigan stop for progressive Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
