‘Impossible’ Team AOC Video From Her Idaho Rally Sparks Fresh 2028 Speculation [WATCH]

Speculation continues to build around Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) political future as conversations swirl about a potential 2028 Senate primary challenge against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — or even a presidential run.

With Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) announcing his retirement, pressure on Schumer has grown, and some Democrats have begun calling for him to step aside.

Meanwhile, Ocasio-Cortez is expanding her national profile with rally appearances across the country alongside figures such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

One recent appearance in Idaho has gained attention, particularly for Ocasio-Cortez’s dramatic delivery and noticeable accent shift.

Earlier this month, during a rally in the deeply conservative state, she launched into an animated speech against President Donald Trump, which drew widespread attention online. Despite criticism, a 90-second video of the event was shared Wednesday by her campaign account, Team AOC, on X.

The video features clips of Ocasio-Cortez greeting rally attendees and delivering energetic remarks.

“I am so touched being here,” she said, describing herself as “a girl from the Bronx.”

She went on to express her excitement at being welcomed in Idaho, telling the crowd that “seeing our common cause… is what this country is all about.”

In her remarks, Ocasio-Cortez urged unity, saying, “Don’t let them trick us into thinking we are enemies! Don’t let them trick us into thinking we can be separated into rural and urban, black and white and Latino. We are one.”

The video also included Sanders claiming that those who believe Idaho “is a conservative state… got it wrong.”

Ocasio-Cortez continued to encourage the crowd, declaring, “I know that looking around here, it can feel impossible for Republicans out here to be defeated. That’s not true. It’s simply not true!”

Referencing her former job as a waitress, she told attendees, “I can tell you, impossible is nothing!”

She also quoted a Bible verse about mustard seeds, stating that the crowd represented “miracles,” while continuing her exaggerated accent.

Sanders echoed the theme of unity, saying, “When we stand together, when we do not allow them to divide us up, there is no stopping us!”

In reality, Idaho remains one of the most Republican states in the country.

The state last voted for a Democratic presidential nominee in 1964. President Donald Trump carried Idaho in the 2024 election with 66.9 percent of the vote, one of the highest margins in recent history.

In the past 14 presidential elections, only George W. Bush performed better than Trump did in the state.

Idaho also has a Republican governor, both Republican senators, Republican congressional representatives, and Republican majorities in both chambers of its legislature.

The content of AOC’s message — and the language used in her social media posts — has raised questions.

Critics noted the inconsistency of capitalizing “Black” and “Latino” but not “white” in her messaging, as pointed out by commentators like Grateful Calvin for Twitchy.

Political observers suggest that Ocasio-Cortez’s growing national presence may indicate ambitions beyond her current role representing New York’s 14th Congressional District, one of the most liberal in the state and the 64th most liberal nationally, according to the Cook Political Report’s Partisan Voting Index.

The Team AOC account has continued promoting her “Fight Oligarchy” tour on social media, with messages consistent with her Idaho rally speech.

Meanwhile, chatter about Ocasio-Cortez’s 2028 plans is heating up.

Beyond leading Schumer in hypothetical Senate primary matchups, there has been serious speculation that she could launch a presidential bid.

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany recently warned that voters should “watch out” for AOC as a 2028 contender.

Ocasio-Cortez has not formally announced her intentions for 2028, but her growing national presence suggests that she is positioning herself for a larger role in the party’s future.
