距11月中期选举还有九天之际，三位被普遍认为有总统竞选抱负的知名民主党人将加入其他潜在2028年总统参选者，在丹佛举行会议讨论民主党未来。据最先向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻披露的最新参会名单显示，新泽西州参议员科里·布克、马里兰州参议员克里斯·范·霍伦以及加利福尼亚州众议员罗·卡纳是最新确认将参加“前路何在”峰会的人士。
三人都自视为进步派人士，近年来都因政治抱负受到全国关注。布克曾在2020年参与总统竞选，但在首轮初选前退选。卡纳曾称自己是“胜算渺茫的总统候选人”，范·霍伦则承认自己正在“评估”2028年参选的可能性。
三人还都提出了税收计划，这可能成为2028年党纲的先导内容。
此次会议将于11月12日至14日举行，由“多数派民主党人”组织主办。该组织去年由 largely moderate 当选官员和其他知名民主党人创立，他们宣称自己“致力于重塑并发展民主党”。
该组织由马萨诸塞州众议员杰克·奥金克洛斯主持，其目标是将2026年选举的经验教训应用于即将到来的总统选举，其中包括汇聚民主党内部不同派系的领军人物。
“民主党曾大肆宣扬要打造一个能维持多数席位的‘大帐篷’。但可悲的现实是，当需要践行这些理念时，我们却只说不做。”“多数派民主党人”发言人马特·科里多尼说道，“‘前路何在’峰会为民主党各派系人士提供了机会，让我们能够开展为赢得2028年选举所必需的开诚布公、有时甚至是艰难的对话。”

除上述三人外，首批确认参会的潜在总统候选人还包括前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格，以及佐治亚州参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克、亚利桑那州参议员鲁本·加列戈和康涅狄格州参议员克里斯·墨菲。
弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格、新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔以及其他国会议员和政治顾问也计划出席。
民主党希望在11月的中期选举中夺回众议院多数席位，并将这一势头延续至2028年总统竞选。
许多人认为，民主党在2024年失去白宫后尚未确立明确的政治身份，温和派和进步派民主党人在党派发展方向上存在分歧。这种分歧不利于民主党争取选民：今年2月哥伦比亚广播公司的一项民调显示，大多数选民认为民主党“软弱无力”。
总统参选人们可能在未来几个月内正式启动竞选活动，部分潜在2028年候选人已试图在中期选举竞选活动中提升自身知名度，与关键州的民主党候选人共同亮相。今年秋季，纽约州众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科特兹和前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯都前往密歇根州，与参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·赛义德共同拉票。加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森上周末在新罕布什尔州与处于激烈参议院竞选的众议员克里斯·帕帕斯一同开展竞选活动。
组织者选择丹佛作为首届“前路何在”峰会的举办地，因为该市是2028年民主党全国代表大会的候选举办城市之一。据一位知情人士透露，预计将有超过2000人出席此次峰会。
“要在2028年获胜，我们需要团结起来，汲取民主党各方的最佳理念，将其整合为一项能够打造持久多数席位、为美国人民谋福祉的议程。”“多数派民主党人”执行主任罗汉·帕特尔说道。

With early race for 2028 fast approaching, 3 more Democrats slated to join summit to plot out future
2026-10-20 9:00 AM EDT / CBS News
Nine days after next month’s midterm elections, three prominent Democrats who are widely believed to have presidential ambitions will join other potential 2028 party contenders in Denver to discuss the future of the party.
Sens. Cory Booker of New Jersey and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, as well as Rep. Ro Khanna of California, are among the latest additions who plan to join the “What’s Next” summit, according to an updated list of attendees first shared with CBS News.
All three lawmakers identify as progressives, and all three have drawn national attention over their political ambitions in recent years. Booker ran for president in 2020 but dropped out before the first primary contests. Khanna has described himself as a “long-shot presidential candidate,” and Van Hollen has acknowledged that he is “kicking the tires” on a possible 2028 run.
The three have also introduced tax plans that could be precursors to 2028 platforms.
The meeting will take place from Nov. 12 to 14, and is being hosted by Majority Democrats, a group formed last year by largely moderate elected officials and other high-profile Democrats who say they are “committed to reshaping and growing the Democratic Party.”
Chaired by Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, the organization says it aims to take lessons from the 2026 races into the upcoming presidential election, in part by bringing together leading voices from across different factions within the party.
“Democrats have talked a big game about building a ‘big tent’ that can hold onto a majority. The sad reality is, we were all hat, no cattle when it came time to live up to those ideals,” said Matt Corridoni, a spokesperson for Majority Democrats. “What’s Next is an opportunity for Democrats from every wing of the party to have the open and often difficult conversations we need to win in 2028.”

The three latest entrants join an initial lineup of other possible presidential candidates including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Sens. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, Ruben Gallego of Arizona and Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Govs. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia and Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey plan to attend, as well as other members of Congress and political strategists.
Democrats hope to win control of the House in November’s midterm elections and carry the momentum into the 2028 presidential race.
Many feel the party has not settled on a political identity after losing the White House in 2024, and moderate and progressive Democrats disagree on the party’s direction.That split has not helped the party win over voters: In a February CBS News poll, most voters described the Democratic Party as “weak.”
Presidential contenders could begin launching their campaigns in the coming months, and some possible 2028 candidates have sought to raise their profile on the midterm trail, appearing alongside Democrats in key states. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and former Vice President Kamala Harris have both visited Michigan this fall to campaign with Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. California Gov. Gavin Newsom campaigned in New Hampshire last weekend with Rep. Chris Pappas, who is in a tight race for Senate.
Organizers chose to hold the inaugural What’s Next summit in Denver as it is one of the cities under consideration to host the 2028 Democratic National Convention. Over 2,000 people are expected to attend, according to a person familiar with the planning.
“Winning in 2028 will require us coming together to take the best ideas from every corner of the Democratic Party and forging them into an agenda that can build a durable majority and deliver for the American people,” said executive director of Majority Democrats Rohan Patel.
