    Of all the US presidents, only Obama, Harding, and FDR won the presidency from the Senate. I dont see that being in the Senate or not being in the Senate has any bearing at all beyond a bump for name recognition, and AOC doesnt need that bump. Especially so with the voters extreme low polling for approval of dems in congress.

      I didn’t mean as a step towards POTUS. I think we need more people like her in Congressional leadership roles more than we need her as POTUS. Unless we’re talking about the next Roosevelt, I want a boring POTUS.
