Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand breathed a sigh of relief over the weekend when Rep. announced she would not challenge her seat from the left in 2024. Ocasio's spokesperson Lauren Hitt first told Politico: 'She is not planning to run for Senate in 2024. She is not planning to primary Gillibrand.'The 33-year-old firebrand progressive has long been thought to be angling for higher office someday. She has the name recognition and liberal bonafides to launch a serious statewide campaign in blue New York. Ocasio-Cortez also has the funds - $5 million on hand compared to the senator's $6 million.
