<<Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is dropping strong hints about her political future, possibly eyeing a run for president in 2028. Her recent campaign fundraising haul—$9.6 million from over 266,000 individual donors with an average contribution of $21—is extraordinary for a House candidate in a safe district and suggests she's building a national donor base. She's also on a nationwide “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with Bernie Sanders, drawing large crowds and promoting a populist message.  
  
AOC, now 35, will be eligible to run for president in 2028. Her options include staying in the House, running for Senate (possibly against Chuck Schumer), or launching a presidential campaign. She has the fundraising ability, name recognition, and a clear liberal-populist message that could resonate with a national audience. While her progressive politics could be polarizing in a general election, she remains one of the most high-profile and intriguing figures in the Democratic Party. The video concludes that while it’s uncertain whether she’ll run—or win—AOC appears to be positioning herself for a major national role in the near future.>>

Of the major 'media figures' on the Democratic and Democratic-leaning side, I think only maybe Bill Maher and James Carville are perhaps against a 2028 Presidential run for AOC. And then there are maybe some progressives who still seem to want AOC to run against US Senator Chuck Schumer in 2028.

'Moderate'/'centrist' former CNN commentator Chris Cillizza is open to AOC being the 2028 Democratic Presidential Nominee and says she can win the 2028 Presidential General Election.
