Democratic leaders, strategists, and potential 2028 presidential candidates gathered in Denver, Colorado for a multi-day conference titled "What’s Next" to plan the party's future following recent midterm election victories. Organized by the independent group Majority Democrats, the event served as a venue for lawmakers to discuss leveraging their upcoming House and Senate majorities while acknowledging that the recent wins were a "repudiation of Donald Trump" rather than a full validation of the party's brand. Notable attendees included former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, and California Representative Ro Khanna. During the proceedings, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries faced repeated heckling and was called a "traitor" by protesters, an incident attributed to long-standing divisions between moderates and progressives within the party. While some reports describe the gathering as a two-day celebration of historic election gains, others characterize it as a three-day event focused on the risk of short-lived victories unless the party finds common ground. The Washington Free Beacon reported that it was denied press credentials for the summit. The conference took place just before House Democrats were scheduled to vote on their leadership slate on November 18.
