NEW: @AOC on running for House speaker, the Senate, or the White House: 'That's a lot to put on one person,' she tells Insider businessinsider.com/aoc-alexandria… by @TinaSfon & @WARojas ($) @thisisinsider
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's massive fan club can't wait to see her vie for House speaker, challenge Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, or even run for president in 2024.
While many AOC backers think the 31-year-old Democrat is a savior for progressives, Ocasio-Cortez says she doesn't want them dreaming of her toppling House or Senate leadership — or even winning the White House.
"That's a lot to put on one person," the two-term New York Democrat told @thisisinsider
Instead, Ocasio-Cortez says she's focused on pushing a federal minimum wage increase, advancing Medicare for All legislation, and making the Green New Deal law.
Her advice to supporters: quit pining for the "one," and help build a legion of changemakers.
