There is a very real chance that in January 2029, we will see the eye-popping political theater of Donald Trump attending Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s presidential inauguration. The 36-year-old New York congresswoman has been the front-runner for months in Democratic polls as the party’s 2028 pick, despite not having officially confirmed that she’s running.
But she may now face stiff competition. As per Coinbase’s prediction markets, AOC’s polling lead is now matched by Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, who recently rose to prominence due to his incendiary comments slamming the Trump administration. Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California who has expressed interest in running, brings up the rear in third place. Interestingly, Pete Buttigieg, who is performing well in other polls, does not feature here.
