Democrat Heavyweight Olivia Julianna Wants to Run for Congress — There’s Just one HUGE Problem...

comment-1 Created with Sketch Beta.

The political circus just added a new heavyweight contender — or should we say a tonnage of temerity?

Olivia Julianna, the self-proclaimed Gen Z savior with a frame that could eclipse the Capitol dome, is hinting at a run for Congress in Texas’s 38th District.

With the Capitol looming behind her like a mirage of credibility, Julianna’s latest X post teases a bid for a seat currently held by Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt, a move that’s less a campaign strategy and more a cry for attention from a figure already drowning in it.

Julianna, a 22-year-old Houston native and self-identified "queer, plus-size, disabled Latina," rose from obscurity as a political activist and content creator to a Democratic darling.

Her journey began with Gen-Z for Change, where she served as director of politics and government affairs, wielding her social media clout to push abortion rights, climate change, and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

Julianna, a 22-year-old Houston native and self-identified "queer, plus-size, disabled Latina," rose from obscurity as a political activist and content creator to a Democratic darling.

Her journey began with Gen-Z for Change, where she served as director of politics and government affairs, wielding her social media clout to push abortion rights, climate change, and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

But her most eyebrow-raising role came as a fired Democratic youth outreach coordinator, tasked with engaging young men — a demographic she famously struggled to connect with, given her polarizing persona and unorthodox approach.

Her tenure ended abruptly, yet the Democrats’ desperation to tap into Gen Z’s energy kept her in their orbit, culminating in a 2024 DNC speaking slot that thrust her into the national spotlight.

Over the past year, Julianna’s fame has skyrocketed, fueled a 323,000-strong following on X.

Her knack for turning personal attacks — most notably Rep. Matt Gaetz’s crude 2022 jab that sparked a $700,000 abortion fundraising haul — into political capital has made her a Gen Z icon.

She’s hobnobbed with Nancy Pelosi, donned historical outfits to honor political women, and leveraged her University of Houston-Victoria political science studies to cement her activist credentials.

Yet, her constitutional ineligibility — she’s only 22, with the minimum age for Congress being 25 — adds a layer of farce to her ambition.

Online, the backlash is brutal. X users are merciless, with comments urging her to “try a gentle walk” before running for office, mocking her physical fitness as a metaphor for her political readiness.

"She’s eating the budget,” quipped one user.

Here’s the kicker, folks: it’s laughable — nay, tragic — that someone who can’t demonstrate autonomy over her own plate or physique now seeks control over your life, your taxes, your fate in governance.
