New York State Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is gradually moving towards the core of the Democratic Party. On one hand, she has been clashing with Vance in public opinion, becoming one of the main voices opposing Trump's political line; on the other hand, she has increased support for moderate and mainstream Democrats, including fundraising for former Alaska Representative Mary Peltola, whose views are not entirely aligned. As the cost of living and economic pressure have become the most concerning issues for voters, she is actively pushing the Democratic Party to develop a clearer message framework around working-class and populist economic issues, trying to bridge different factions within the party and win back working-class voters. Within the party, many Democrats have begun to view her as a key figure in conveying economic messages and mobilizing grassroots supporters, rather than solely relying on traditional advisory systems. She frequently provides communication and fundraising advice to centrist legislators and plays an informal mentor role among younger legislators. Her influence is also extending into the foreign policy arena. Next week, she will attend the Munich Security Conference, which is her most important overseas trip so far, and is expected to present a left-wing policy perspective different from Trump-style diplomacy. At the same time, discussions within the Democratic Party about her potential role in 2028 are gradually heating up, including whether she might run for president or challenge the political prospects of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in the future.
