Story summary

Three prominent Democrats with potential presidential ambitions—Senators Cory Booker of New Jersey, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, and Representative Ro Khanna of California—are set to attend the "What's Next" summit in Denver from November 12 to 14, nine days after the upcoming midterm elections. The meeting is organized by Majority Democrats, a group founded last year with the goal of reshaping and expanding the Democratic Party. All three lawmakers are progressive figures who have previously expressed interest in running for president in 2028. They join other potential party contenders to discuss the future direction of the Democratic agenda and strategy leading up to the 2028 election cycle.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
