(The Center Square)–U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is a current frontrunner for the Democratic Party for the next presidential election.
Pollsters and pundits are buzzing about the progressive New Yorker as a potential candidate after a Yale survey showed Ocasio-Cortez with a 62% favorability rating. Yale’s undergraduate-led Spring 2025 Youth Poll surveyed 4,100 “self-reported registered voters,” nearly half of which were aged 18-29.
Nate Silver, founder of polling aggregate and election forecaster FiveThirtyEight, predicted in a podcast with political podcaster Galen Druke that Ocasio-Cortez would be the Democratic Party’s 2028 presidential nominee, as reported by Fox News.
The poll showed that Ocasio-Cortez has “broad appeal across the Democratic party and there’s a lot of people who could potentially get on board with her,” Druke said.
While Kamala Harris had the greatest name recognition of the Democrats provided in the survey, both she and Ocasio-Cortez received favorability ratings “at about net +60.”
Election forecaster Race to the White House has calculated an average of 18 polls from 11 pollsters since January 2024 on the 2028 Democratic presidential primary. It shows Harris leading by over 16 points. When Harris is removed, those same polls show former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in the lead with 17% and Ocasio-Cortez not far behind with 14%.
Ocasio-Cortez gained national attention in 2018 when she beat incumbent Joseph Crowley in a race for the House of Representatives. She has held the seat since then. A self-proclaimed socialist, she has been speaking across the country with U.S. Rep. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, since late February in a “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
