Barely pausing in her relentless schedule Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been front and center in recent American politics making headlines and dominating social media in the past 24 hours with her outspoken opposition to the ongoing government shutdown According to her appearance on MSNBC with Chris Hayes last night she accused Republican leaders and former President Trump of abusing their power by leveraging the federal shutdown against working people and threatening essential federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid She dismissed speculation that her potential primary challenge was to blame for Republican tactics insisting this was about ensuring children and families have access to basic needs
On CNN just hours earlier Ocasio Cortez joined Senator Bernie Sanders to answer questions from hard hit federal workers and to push back against Speaker Mike Johnsons threat that this could become one of the longest shutdowns in history She told the national audience her caucus is not backing down on vital funding and called for real solutions not political games She held firm that health care is a human right and pressed party leaders to be clearer and bolder communicating their values online and off

Though she has not launched any new business ventures or announced electoral plans in the past few days unofficial chatter swirls about her future ambitions especially as she takes on an expanded leadership role in the Congressional Progressive Caucus Her social feeds continue to trend with clips of her media events and her fiery responses to shutdown critics regularly go viral Last night a TikTok video recapping her CNN Town Hall crossed a million views in just nine hours fueling speculation about whether she could harness that digital power into a national campaign down the road
