Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 36, says she is freezing her eggs as she weighs potential 2028 bids for president or Chuck Schumer’s New York Senate seat. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she is freezing her eggs as she decides her next political moves ahead of the 2028 presidential election campaign. She said in her social media posts that she was taking a “political risk” in talking so personally about her potential family plans. Ocasio-Cortez sponsored a Democratic bill in 2022, when the party controlled the House, to codify abortion rights into federal law after the Supreme Court’s abortion decision. As part of her weekend announcement, Ocasio-Cortez noted that women in politics and other fields face different standards and scrutiny about their family status.
