Is the AOC on course to become the next president of the United States?

You can't rule this out.

And it's interesting that a poll last week actually had a top amongst prospective

Democratic voters, or amongst Democratic voters.

She was on 26%, just there to Pete Buttergig on 22%, and the Governor of California, Gavin Newson, on 21%.

Meanwhile, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Chris Rab, who was backed by

AOC, is just won his election yesterday for Pennsylvania's third congressional district.

Is AOC a possible realistic contender?

Could she end up being, what, the first democratic socialists, self-described,

certainly at one point, to be elected in the White House?

Is that a possible scenario?

I'm really delighted to be joined by Dave Rieel, who is at Semaphore, a brilliant political

journalist who I, whose work I read religiously when I'm trying to work out what the hell

is going on across the Atlantic. How you doing, Dave? How you doing? Very well. Thanks. Good

to talk to you again. What did you make of that poll that came out was Atlas last week.

And other polls, to be be fair she's not top

things a bit feebral there isn't obviously it's a while to the democrat it's up to the

democratic nomination process and the presidential election what do you think though do you think

there's she has something of a a significant enough base to make this conversation worthwhile?

To make it worthwhile, certainly. First, I can be a scold. I can be kind of boring when

it comes to early presidential speculation because I've been covering these races in 2008.

I remember a long period where, oh, Obama's 30 points behind Hillary in this national poll.
