I expect they will find another old white dude to fill the spot before they ever consider Ocasio-Cortez.
A lot has changed since December...
I think if AOC still wants it, she's got it now.
Pelosi and the rest of the senior elected politicians don't have the DNC behind them anymore. She was never good at convincing people to see her side, she wielded the DNC like a cudgel and had zero qualms turning it on incumbents who went against her.
Things may have changed outside of Congress, but they haven't changed enough inside Congress yet. This is a few weeks old but it's the most recent quote I can find from AOC on this (also, I'm including some stuff before her quote that I think I underscores the problem)

She is no longer a member of this committee and switched to a different one after not getting the ranking member seat
And now there's a seat and a chair that needs replaced...
She can take the seat, then get the chair.
Like, I get what you're saying, it just doesn't matter.
We need a competent energetic person who understands today's media in this position. It's an incredibly important one. We can play another round of musical chairs, it's not even much of a hassle.
“Here’s how Bernie could still win”
She's said in the past she's no longer interested in it. I believe there was already a little back peddling a few weeks and she gave the impression she had moved on.
But she could always change her mind I suppose
Ah, that's good then.
