Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ribbed Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday, telling reporters she would “stomp him” if the two faced off in a 2028 presidential election matchup.

Seen as a possible Democratic contender in the 2028 presidential election, Ocasio-Cortez highlighted a Verasight poll on her social media that showed her besting Vance 51% to 49% in a hypothetical general election matchup. When a reporter asked Ocasio-Cortez if she personally thinks she could beat Vance, as the poll suggested, she laughed but answered in the affirmative.
