Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) reacted with hostility when asked about the New York Democrat running against Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in 2028 .

During a joint town hall with Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez with CNN, host Kaitlan Collins asked about a hot topic for the past several months — whether the New York congresswoman would mount a primary challenge to the aging Schumer. The question was met with outright hostility by Ocasio-Cortez and Schumer, who accused the host of distracting from other issues.
