The upcoming season centers on three colors: red, white and blue. Thirteen candidates will run to win the titles of \"Drag President\" or \"America’s Next Drag Superstar,\" marking it a groundbreaking season that could go down in history.

AOC has become one of the most popular progressive leaders within the Democratic Party -- active in the 2020 presidential campaign trail and works as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ surrogate.

Sanders has reinforced his backing of the LGBTQ+ movement, co-sponsoring bills to expand equal rights and ensure equal protection under the law -- including the United American Families Act, Employment Non-Discrimination Act and a bill to designate a LGBTQ+ equality day.

He also introduced S.1129 -- more affectionately known as Medicare for All -- in April 2019, which establishes a national health insurance program to cover all U.S. senior citizens.

If passed, Sanders said his vision for Medicare would confront health disparities faced by the LGBTQ+ community including covering gender affirming surgeries and removing barriers to mental health care.

This is not the first time a political figure appeared on RuPaul’s show -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made her debut as a guest judge in 2018 on \"RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars\" season.

AOC will be joined as a guest judge by celebrities like \"The View\" co-host Whoopi Goldberg; singers Nicki Minaj, Normani, Chaka Khan; actors Daisy Ridley, Thandie Newton, Olivia Munn and model Winnie Harlow -- among others.

\"RuPaul’s Drag Race\" has been nominated for 29 Emmy Awards since it first premiered in 2009 -- and has won 13 awards.

The new season kicks off on Feb. 28.
