New York’s Democratic representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brushed off question about run for presidency
Ocasio-Cortez said that instead of aiming for higher office, “I get to wake up every day and say, ‘How am I going to meet the moment?’
“And conditions change radically all the time. So I make my response less to an attachment to some positional title or position and working backwards from there.”
She added: “I make decisions by waking up in the morning, looking out the window and observing the conditions of this country. And saying what move or what decision can I make today that is going to get us closer to that future, stronger, faster, better than yesterday.”
