ABC’s Jon Karl Sucks Up to ‘Kingmaker’ AOC, Tries to Soften the DSA's Hard Edges

After some more “kingmaker” chatter, the conversation shifted to the upcoming Wisconsin gubernatorial primary:WATCH: ABC's Jon Karl lobs a Francesca Hong softball at AOC. I mean, I think that a lot of these races, even right now, they'll have a tendency to be nationalized. It’s worth noting that Karl mentions AOC being on Piker’s podcast but NOT Piker enthusiastically supporting AOC for president in 2028 . The headline in “The Hill” was, “Today's cautious AOC would not have endorsed the AOC of 2018,” because you were obviously running against an incumbent.I mean, that's probably correct, right? (LAUGHTER)KARL: But, I mean, do you see this as something --OCASIO-CORTEZ: You know --KARL: I mean, I know you said you're open to it.
