President Donald Trump believes he's likely to beat out the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 and revealed he agrees with Freshman Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's serious warning on Sunday's This Week on ABC where she said: 'I think we have a very real risk of losing the Presidency to Donald Trump.'

AOC said on the program: 'I think that we have a very real risk of losing the presidency to Donald Trump if we do not have a presidential candidate that is fighting for true transformational change in the lives of working people in the United States.'

Trump tweeted in reply on Sunday night: 'I agree, and that is the only reason they play the impeach card, which cannot be legally used!'

But the progressive representative said the decision to impeach shouldn't be based solely on public opinion and polling.

'I think that impeachment is incredibly serious, and this is about the presence and evidence that the president may have committed a crime, in this case more than one,' Ocasio-Cortez continued.

'And so I believe that our decision on impeachment should be based in our constitutional responsibilities and duties, and not in elections or polling.'

In order to impeach, two-thirds of the House - 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents - would have to vote in favor. AOC agreed with ABC News Chief White House Correspondent, Jonathan Karl, that this was unlikely.

When asked if they risked handing Trump a political victory, the congresswoman replied: 'If we're talking about what's going to be a victory for Trump and what's not going to be a victory for Trump then we are politicizing and we are tainting this process, which, again, should be removed from politics.

'I think for us, what we need to really realize is, are we doing our job as a member of the House? And the Senate has their entire responsibility. ... But I think we need to be concerned with our job in the House.'

Ocasio-Cortez said in the interview that 'animus' against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is pretty strong among progressives in Congress lately.

Pelosi has not joined more than 50 Democrats in Congress that are calling for impeachment proceedings against the president, and has instead said congressional investigations need to continue.

'I believe that there is a very real animus and desire to make sure that we are, that — that we are holding this president to account,' AOC continued.

Trump tweeted that his possible election victory 'is the only reason they play the impeach card, which cannot be legally used!'

During her first ever Sunday show appearance, Ocasio-Cortez said there is a lot of 'animus' from progressives in Congress toward House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her impeachment stance

In her first Sunday show interview since taking office in January 2019, Ocasio-Cortez said it's not 'flying with progressives' for Pelosi to skirt the line on impeachment.

Reportedly the House Speaker recently told colleagues that she doesn't want Trump impeached because she wants to see him prosecuted and put behind bars after he leaves office.

'I don't want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison.' Pelosi told other Democrats, according to the report.

Sen. Kamala Harris, a candidate for president, joined that call – even though she has also said she wants him impeached.

Last week, she told NPR Politics Podcast that she would give the Department of Justice 'no choice' but to prosecute Trump as a private citizen if she were to win the White House.

Democrats began widely calling for impeachment after Special Council Robert Mueller's Russia report concluded in March. The 448-page revealed when it was made public in mid-April that Trump had not conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential elections.

It did, however, outline potential instances of obstruction of justice. This, Democrats said, was enough for impeachment proceedings to commence.

'Ten counts of obstruction of justice, four with rock solid evidence. We have violations of the emoluments clause. We need to at least open an inquiry so that we can look at what is going on, and that is what opening an impeachment inquiry means,' AOC said.

'Holding this president (to) account is holding all of government to account.'

Ocasio-Cortez even said she believes Mueller was signalling Congress that it was their job to act on charging the president.

In a speech from the Justice Department last month, he said he did not charge Trump with a crime because it is against DOJ protocol to charge a sitting president with a federal crime.

'Every day that passes, the pressure to impeach grows, and I think that it's justifiable,' AOC said.

'I think that with the president now saying that he is willing to break the law to win reelection, that -- that goes -- that transcends partisanship. It transcends party lines, and this is now about the rule of law in the United States of America.'

Ocasio-Cortez was elected to Congress in the 2018 midterm elections and swiftly rose to prominence when she unseated 10-term incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley in her primary race.

During her interview Sunday morning, Ocasio-Cortez also brought up women's issues including the wage gap and maternity leave.

She hit at Democrats who she said made a mistake in giving former President Bill Clinton a pass in regards to the way he treated women in the past.

'Probably,' Ocasio-Cortez told ABC's This Week on Sunday morning when asked if Democrats were wrong.

'I actually don't think that this is as partisan – I wouldn't look at this through a partisan lens,' she continued. 'I think that this is part of an evolution that we've been having as a country. Women have historically been mistreated, I don't think that that is really a controversial thing to say.'
