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 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.
I didn’t think Katz wanted to be the face of things. I don’t know about his politics aside from what we see in Mamdani but the other candidates range from uninspired to nightmare. Rahm Emanuel thinking he has a chance is funny
Only thing going happen is a farce primary with Newsome winning.
Yeah that reads like a list of ain’t gonna do shit.
Gallego’s a do-nothing centrist, but some of the others are not entirely brain-dead. So there’s a small chance that something will come of this chinwag.
