Story summary

Cory Booker, Ro Khanna, and Chris Van Hollen have joined the list of prominent Democrats scheduled to attend a "What's Next" summit in Denver from November 12 to 14, nine days after the upcoming midterm elections. This meeting is organized by Majority Democrats, which aims to reshape and grow the Democratic Party. All three lawmakers are progressive figures with presidential ambitions; Booker ran for president in 2020 but dropped out early, while Khanna has described himself as a "long-shot candidate" for 2028, and Van Hollen is considering a run. The summit will bring together potential 2028 party contenders to discuss the future of the Democratic Party's agenda and strategy.

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.
