Left-wing streamer Hasan Piker has named Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as his preferred candidate for the 2028 US presidential election, describing the choice as "not even a question." The comments add to ongoing speculation about a potential AOC White House bid and reflect broader debate on the American left over who might lead the Democratic Party's progressive wing in the next presidential cycle.

Fox News reported that Ocasio-Cortez has herself addressed the speculation, saying her focus is on securing healthcare for all Americans rather than a future presidential run. Piker, a prominent progressive streamer, has been vocal on other political matters recently, including urging New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to adopt a bolder public stance rather than cautious messaging.
