AOC joins el Sayed's Michigan Senate campaign, 2028 ambitions in play

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRepresentative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will join Democratic Senate candidate Abdul el Sayed on his Michigan bus tour on Thursday, rallying supporters and trying to mobilize young voters.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis is a masterstroke, because it's a two thousand twenty-eight audition on wheels, and she gets to rehearse being president on a bus.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's his campaign, Vera.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIs it, though?

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorShe's putting her whole standing as the progressive leader on the line, and if Michigan says no, the bus drives straight off a cliff.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLet me finish, because nobody's cliff has ever been this well branded, and the young voters are going to love a bus.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYoung voters love a bus until it's a long bus with no snacks. Then it's a hostile takeover of a Thursday.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA bus.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd if it goes well, she's the kingmaker, and if it goes badly, she was simply a supportive guest on somebody else's bus, which is a lovely look.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the man running for the Senate is the rental car in his own story. Nobody's even read the contract.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHis name is Abdul el Sayed. It's his bus, and I'd like that noted.
