AOC’s Shocking Flip on Gavin Newsom: From 2028 Dream Ticket to “He’s Destroying America” – The Congresswoman Calls Him a “Hazard” and Vows to “Make History”

In a bombshell twist that’s sending shockwaves through the Democratic Party and igniting a firestorm of speculation about 2028, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has dramatically turned on California Governor Gavin Newsom, labeling him a “hazard to the country” just months after floating the idea of a joint ticket that she claimed could deliver “the biggest win in American history.” The congresswoman’s scorching attack—”He’s destroying America, he’s a hazard to this nation, let me make history”—has exploded online, exposing deep rifts in the progressive wing and raising questions about whether this is the start of a brutal intraparty war or a calculated power play.

The drama erupted during a fiery town hall in New York on Thursday night, where AOC, 36, was asked about her earlier comments on a potential 2028 run with Newsom. Sources say the pair had privately discussed a ticket, with AOC believing she could “win in a landslide” and that adding Newsom would make it “the biggest win in American history.” Both were reportedly “not opposed” to teaming up, viewing it as a powerhouse blend of East Coast progressivism and West Coast governance.

But in a stunning reversal, AOC unleashed hell: “Gavin Newsom? He’s destroying America. He’s a hazard to this nation—let me make history instead.” The crowd gasped as she elaborated, accusing Newsom of “selling out to big tech and corporate elites” while California crumbles under homelessness and high taxes. “We need real change, not more of the same from politicians who talk big but deliver little,” l thundered, her voice rising to a crescendo that left the room electric.

The attack came amid whispers of tensions boiling behind the scenes. Insiders reveal AOC and Newsom had exploratory talks about a ticket, with AOC envisioning herself as the presidential candidate and Newsom as VP. “She truly believed it would be unstoppable—a landslide bigger than any in history,” one source said. But cracks emerged over policy—Newsom’s moderate leanings clashing with AOC’s progressive fire—and now it’

Newsom’s camp fired back swiftly: “This is disappointing from a colleague. Gavin’s focused on governing California, not 2028 drama.” But the damage was done. Social media detonated, with #AOCVsNewsom trending nationwide and memes pitting the two as gladiators in a Democratic arena. Progressives split: Some cheered AOC’s “bold truth,” while others decried it as “divisive sabotage.”

AOC doubled down on X: “America needs fighters who make history—not more of the status quo that’s failing us.” Her “let me make history” line has become a rallying cry, fueling speculation she’s gearing up for a solo 2028 run—perhaps against Newsom himself.

The fallout is immediate and intense. Democratic leaders scramble to contain the rift, with fears it could fracture the party ahead of midterms. “This is a disaster,” one DNC insider said. “AOC’s attack hands Republicans ammo.” Trump weighed in on Truth Social: “AOC destroying Newsom—love to see libs eating their own! Big win for us.”

As 2028 looms, AOC’s flip has turned a potential dream ticket into a nightmare feud. Will she “make history” alone, or has she just handed the keys to the opposition? One thing’s clear: The Democratic civil war is on—and it’s getting ugly.
