How AOC plays

AOC's strength is a grassroots base that rewards momentum. Win the debates and post early results, and small-dollar support compounds into a campaign that can outrun better-funded rivals. The catch is that you're building from enthusiasm — you have to keep the wins coming, because a flat stretch dries up the very energy that funds you.

Scenarios where AOC appears

• 2028 — the progressive standard-bearer in a new-generation Democratic field, up against Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders, and others.

What you'll manage

A finite budget across the primary calendar, which states to contest, debate answers that shift voter blocs, and advisors whose recommendations conflict. Contests are decided on plurality — the most votes takes a state — so smart targeting beats raw spending.
