Alexandria Ocasio Cortez Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, commonly known as AOC, has once again seized the national spotlight with a flurry of high-profile actions over the past several days. According to recent FEC filings analyzed by Fox News, AOC has dramatically outpaced her previous fundraising efforts, pulling in nearly $20 million so far in 2025—a number that already eclipses her total from the last two-year election cycle. This surge coincides with what’s being described as a watershed moment for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, as Ocasio-Cortez and fellow progressive standard-bearer Bernie Sanders have capitalized on national debates over the government shutdown, the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party, and the race for New York City mayor, which has become a proxy for the left’s ambitions. Fox News paints this fundraising haul as a sign that, even as the broader Democratic Party grapples with how to counter Republican momentum, AOC’s base is more energized than ever—with Republicans going so far as to warn that the party’s left flank is gaining dangerous influence.
On social media, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made waves this week by posting what appeared to be a presidential campaign-style video. While stopping short of a formal announcement, the slickly produced piece fueled rampant speculation about her national ambitions and triggered another round of DC chatter on whether she’s eyeing a 2028 White House run. According to AOL, the video’s release was deliberate, polished, and calculated to appeal to a national audience—classic AOC, using every platform at her disposal to stir the pot and keep her name trending. This comes amid vague but persistent rumblings, reported by Fox News, that she could also be considering a primary challenge to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer—though nothing concrete has been confirmed, and both she and her team remain coy about her next moves.
Publicly, Ocasio-Cortez continues to be a lightning rod, but she’s also earned rare praise from unlikely corners. Bernie Sanders, speaking with Axios, called her “an incredibly intelligent person and in the best sense of the word, a very, very good politician,” highlighting her authenticity and working-class roots as key to her appeal. As for business and organizational developments, Fox News reports that a longtime Democratic Socialists of America leader, Frank Llewellyn, remains an integral part of AOC’s campaign and PAC operations—a detail that underscores her continued ties to the far-left activist base that launched her career.
While there’s been no sudden business venture or corporate tie-up, the real news is the sheer scale of her campaign infrastructure and the loyalty of her volunteers—Sanders himself notes she has 80,000 people willing to knock on doors for her, a striking figure in modern politics. On Capitol Hill, she’s not just a player but a kingmaker, with progressives increasingly viewed as setting the agenda for the party’s future.
