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.
