Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

President

**Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez** (October 13, 2002 -), also known by her initials **AOC**, was an American politician and activist who served as the fifty third Vice President of the United States of America from January 20, 2037 to January 20, 2041. From November 28, 2041 onwards, Ocasio-Cortez served as general secretary of the Progressive party, having previously been a member of the Democratic party prior to its dissolution in November 2041. Between 2031 and 2037, she also held office as the United States representative for New York's 14th District.

Ocasio-Cortez was born in the New York City borough of the Bronx on October 13, 2002 as the daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants. After graduating from high school in 2020, Ocasio-Cortez enrolled at Boston University. Ocasio-Cortez graduated from Boston University in 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics, before becoming involved with the Democratic party as a staffer for local state representatives. On June 26, 2030, Ocasio-Cortez drew national recognition when she won the Democratic Party's primary election for New York's 14th congressional district. She defeated Democratic Caucus Chair Joe Crowley, a 10-term incumbent, in what was widely seen as the biggest upset victory in the 2030 midterm election primaries. She easily won the November general election, defeating Republican Anthony Pappas. She was re-elected in the 2032 and 2034 elections with increased majorities. Taking office at age 29, Ocasio-Cortez was the youngest woman ever to serve in the United States Congress. She has been noted for her substantial social media presence relative to her fellow members of Congress. During the 2036 presidential election, Ocasio-Cortez launched a bid for the Democratic nomination, finishing second to secretary of state Alexandria Raines. At the Democratic Convention in July 2036, Raines and Ocasio-Cortez were nominated by the party for the presidency and vice presidency respectively, before winning the 2036 election in November.

On January 20, 2037, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was inaugurated as the fifty third Vice President of the United States at a ceremony in Washington D.C. alongside the inauguration of Alexandria Raines as president. Within minutes of their inaugurations, the Bovido Imperium launched an attack on the United States of America by detonating a nuclear bomb in the Gulf of Mexico, causing an irradiated tsunami to strike the south coast of America. In response to the detection of a nuclear detonation, President Alexandria Raines and Vice President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were quickly taken from the site of the inauguration at the Capitol in Washington D.C and taken aboard a modified Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post designated as *Nightwatch*, which took up the moniker of *Air Force One* upon President Raines' boarding, whilst the helicopter *Marine Two* carrying Vice President Ocasio-Cortez flew quickly to Virginia. During her vice presidency, Ocasio-Cortez was an advocate for progressive policies and actively encouraged Democrats in Congress to pass increases in benefit payments and measures to combat climate change. Ocasio-Cortez undertook several governmental tours across Asia, Europe, and North Africa during her tenure on behalf of President Raines. In June 2040, Ocasio-Cortez was renominated as the Democratic party's vice presidential candidate alongside President Alexandria Raines. Following the tied results of the 2040 presidential election, Ocasio-Cortez played a key role in organising a contingent election on January 6, 2041, and was taken hostage during the storming of the Capitol the same day. Upon her rescue on January 7, 2041, Ocasio-Cortez became a lead negotiator with the armed forces seeking a resolution to the ongoing constitutional crisis, but ultimately left office on January 20, 2041 with no successor elected.

Following a military coup d'état in September 2041 which overthrew the constitutional government, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined with former presidents Alexandria Raines and Selina Meyer to organise mass protests against the Committee of National Renewal junta. After the suspension of the United States constitution and the forced dissolution of the Democratic party on November 11, 2041, Ocasio-Cortez became the legal founder of the Progressive party and its first general secretary, whilst Raines and Meyer acted as spokespeople for the new party.
