Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez freezing her eggs and hasn’t ‘ruled out’ presidential run
New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has revealed she has decided to freeze her eggs and has shared her first steps in the process on social media.
Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced her decision to freeze her eggs, sharing her initial steps in the process on social media. The 36-year-old posted clips hours before stating on ABC News This Week that she has not "ruled out the possibility" of running for president. In the clips, Ocasio-Cortez demonstrates the injection process and discusses tips for fertility care, addressing costs, clinical procedures, storage, and how the US medical system functions.
On ABC News, she expressed her aim to "normalise" conversations about the process, especially in the current political climate. Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the administration's denial of reproductive care, including abortion rights, and emphasized the importance of discussing these issues with her constituents. In a separate Instagram post, she acknowledged the potential political risk but felt it was necessary to share the information.
When asked about her future presidential aspirations in the 2028 elections, Ocasio-Cortez chuckled and focused on winning the midterms, stating she is not yet considering a presidential run. However, when specifically asked about her openness to running, she said she "hasn't ruled out the possibility" and expressed her humility in receiving support.
She also mentioned that anything is possible when discussing a potential Senate run against the current minority leader, Chuck Schumer. The midterms are scheduled for early November, with 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and one-third of the 100 Senate seats up for grabs.
