The water cooler chat from inside the Beltway is that prominent progressives are pushing Ocasio-Cortez to run for Senate and primary one of two powerful Democrats: Sens. Chuck Schumer or Kirsten Gillibrand.
Unfortunately, we’re serious.
AOC’s possible next step: primarying Schumer in 2022 or Gillibrand in 2024 for a Senate seat from New York, sources tell Axios on HBO. https://t.co/Q2UyrtYyMY

Per RedState:
Axios provides links to two polls, one that suggests socialism — the preferred ideology of AOC — has soared among women and young voters; the second showing that AOC, while enjoying popularity in her district and among Democrats nationwide, may not have the support of the rest of New York.
According to a recent survey from Siena, Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand statewide net approval ratings are +10. Ocasio-Cortez’s is -13.
Good luck!
