Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) says that she has not ruled out running a primary challenge against Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in the 2022 midterms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ocasio-Cortez made the remarks during a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/08\/08\/politics\/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-chuck-schumer-2022-cnntv\/index.html\"><span>CNN<\/span><\/a><span> interview with Dana Bash that will air on Monday night. \u201cI know it drives everybody nuts. But the way that I really feel about this, and the way that I really approach my politics and my political career is that I do not look at things and I do not set my course positionally,\u201d said Ocasio-Cortez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI know there\u2019s a lot of people who do not believe that. But I really \u2014 I can\u2019t operate the way that I operate and do the things that I do in politics while trying to be aspiring to other things or calculating to other things,\u201d she said in the interview.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most high-profile members of Congress, has in the past been reticent to publicly make concrete plans for her political future. Last year, she told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/07\/us\/politics\/aoc-biden-progressives.html\"><span>The New York Times<\/span><\/a><span>&nbsp;that she wasn\u2019t sure if she still wanted a life in politics, and also revealed that, at the beginning of her first term, she was unsure if she would seek re-election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Ocasio-Cortez, as well as her fellow progressives, arguably have an outsized influence over the Democratic Party already.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last week, the Biden administration extended an eviction moratorium for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) after Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), one of the most recent additions to the progressive \u201cSquad,\u201d decided to sleep on the steps of the Capitol building in protest \u2014 an effort that Ocasio-Cortez was also a part of. Notably, Schumer and Ocasio-Cortez hugged each other outside the Capitol after the CDC announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"7.609756097561\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Give <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoriBush?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CoriBush<\/a> her flowers \ud83d\udc90 she just paved the way for 11 million renters in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Servant leadership in action. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nu4uCz4vvx\">pic.twitter.com\/nu4uCz4vvx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AOC\/status\/1422722310038081536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"9.2834394904459\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BIG: CDC is adopting an eviction moratorium for the vast majority of the population.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to everyone who kept a spotlight on this\u2014particularly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoriBush?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CoriBush<\/a> who understands what it\u2019s like to lose your home and turned passion into action.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tGDQkJVhPA\">pic.twitter.com\/tGDQkJVhPA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenSchumer\/status\/1422671545642758145?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 3, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Earlier this year, after President Joe Biden ruled out Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s proposal to forgive $50,000 in federal student loan debt, the congresswoman hit back and said Schumer was on her side, as the New York Post <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/02\/17\/aoc-hits-biden-on-50k-student-debt-says-schumer-has-her-back\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span> back in February.
