WASHINGTON (AP) — AOC could stand for 'All Over the Campaign.'
For better or worse, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known ubiquitously by her initials, is a big part of the 2020 race for the White House more than five years before she's even old enough to run for the nation's highest office. Democrats want her endorsement. They're being asked to answer for her Green New Deal. And President Donald Trump's supporters are ready for her.
The metrics tell some of the story while the new congresswoman tells hers — down to soup-cooking on Instagram — on every platform and television talk show. Ocasio-Cortez has become better known since she was sworn in: In February, a Gallup poll found nearly 7 in 10 expressing an opinion, compared with about half who did in September. But as she's become a household name, opinions toward the congresswoman have grown more unfavorable, driven by a rise in negative Republican attitudes. Among Republicans, 73 percent express an unfavorable opinion, up from 52 percent in September.
Long before Trump's supporters chanted her initials, Ocasio-Cortez had vexed them. Some Republican members of the House booed her when she was sworn in. A few suggested that a video of the young congresswoman as a college student dancing on a rooftop was improper. Others took swipes at her knowledge of public policy.
Within 48 hours of Klobuchar's presidential campaign announcement, as she aimed for a more moderate lane, the Minnesota Democrat was forced to explain her backing for the non-binding agreement.
