## Summary

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won re-election to Congress in New York with nearly 80 per cent of the vote, extending her time in Washington as speculation grows about a possible 2028 presidential run. Her campaigning for Democrats across the country has raised her national profile and offered a test of whether her support among younger and progressive voters can reach more competitive areas.

Her Republican challenger, Diamant Hysenaj, focused on affordability, public safety, housing and immigration, and questioned whether Ocasio-Cortez had paid enough attention to the Bronx and Queens. She campaigned in several states and gave $1 million from her campaign account to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. A potential 2028 bid could place her in a crowded Democratic primary, amid wider debate over the party’s direction and its engagement with progressive voices.
