Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested the United States could forgo elections in 2028 under President Donald Trump.

During a Sunday interview on CNN, host Jake Tapper asked Crockett if Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) should challenge Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to lead Democrats in the Senate four years from now.

"Would you get behind that?" Tapper wondered.

"That's four years from now," Crockett noted. "If you were asking me at least in two years, then I would have an absolute answer."

"But I can tell you that there are a lot of people that are watching his leadership in this moment," she continued. "This is the moment. We don't even know what elections will look like in four years, if we will have elections."

"And so I definitely think that younger, fresher leadership may be something that many of us, not just depending on what part of the spectrum you're on, but many Americans may be looking for, especially in the state of New York."
