一群潜在的2028年民主党总统竞选人将在中期选举结束几天后前往丹佛，讨论民主党未来，这是该党选举后首次大型集会之一。
据最先向CNN透露的初步参会名单显示，与会者包括前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格、前美国驻日本大使拉姆·伊曼纽尔，以及亚利桑那州联邦参议员鲁本·加列戈、康涅狄格州联邦参议员克里斯·墨菲、乔治亚州联邦参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克和密歇根州联邦参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金。演讲嘉宾阵容还包括新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔、弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格，以及多名国会议员。
这场名为“接下来是什么”的峰会将于11月12日至14日由“多数党民主党人”组织主办，该组织于去年成立，旨在帮助民主党在更多选区获胜。
此次峰会选在中期选举不到两周后举办，民主党希望借此重夺参议院和众议院多数席位。主办方希望借此快速总结此次选举的经验教训，为未来选举——包括下一届白宫竞选——提供借鉴。

马萨诸塞州联邦众议员杰克·奥钦克洛斯在一份声明中表示：“这不是一场政策会议，也不是研讨战术的空谈沙龙。‘接下来是什么’峰会选在中期选举后、总统大选前的独特时机召开，目的就是就民主党未来愿景展开辩论。那些自认为拥有该愿景的政治家都应该登上这个舞台。”
主办方选择丹佛作为举办地，部分原因是该市是2028年民主党全国代表大会的候选举办城市之一。
初步名单还包括顶级政党战略家，如曾担任奥巴马总统高级顾问、现任CNN首席政治分析师的大卫·阿克塞尔罗德；2024年卡玛拉·哈里斯竞选团队前首席副竞选经理昆廷·富尔克斯；以及纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼的顾问莫里斯·卡茨。
“多数党民主党人”并非唯一一家在中期选举结束后立即举办活动、以期塑造政党未来的组织。选举结束两天后，该党部分最知名的战略家和评论员将齐聚华盛顿特区，出席由进步媒体公司“歪媒”主办的“歪媒大会”。

A group of potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidates is heading to Denver days after the midterms to discuss the party’s future, in one of the party’s first major gatherings following the election.
Attendees will include former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and former US Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel, as well as Sens. Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Raphael Warnock of Georgia and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, according to an initial lineup shared first with CNN. The group of speakers also includes Govs. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, plus several additional members of Congress.
The “What’s Next” summit is being hosted from November 12-14 by Majority Democrats, an organization that launched last year to help Democrats win in more places.
In staging the event less than two weeks after the midterms, where Democrats hope to retake the Senate and the House, the group is looking to move quickly to outline the lessons learned from the election that could be instructive going forward, including in the next White House race.

“This isn’t a policy conference nor a talk shop on tactics,” Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, said in a statement. “What’s Next is timed for a unique moment after the midterms and before the presidential to debate a vision for the Democratic Party. Politicians who believe they have that vision should be on that stage.”
Organizers chose Denver partly because it is one of the cities under consideration to host the 2028 Democratic National Convention.
The initial lineup also includes top party strategists such as David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Barack Obama and a chief political analyst at CNN; Quentin Fulks, former principal deputy campaign manager for Kamala Harris in 2024; and Morris Katz, adviser to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Majority Democrats is not the only organization holding an event in the immediate aftermath of the midterms in a bid to shape the party’s future. Two days after the election, some of the party’s most prominent strategists and commentators are set to converge in Washington, DC, for Crooked Con, which is hosted by the progressive media company Crooked Media.
