| [FOX] DENVER — Fresh off sweeping midterm victories, Democratic leaders, strategists and potential 2028 presidential contenders are heading to Colorado to debate what comes next for their party. The three-day "What’s Next" conference in Denver, organized by the independent group Majority Democrats, will bring together a broad slate of leaders from within the party as an advisor for the group admitting to Fox News Digital that the election results do not prove "validation of our party," but is more a "repudiation of Donald Trump." The conference organizers hope to bring together Democrats to see "where our party goes from here." The lineup includes former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who ran in the Democratic presidential primary in 2020; Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro; Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., and Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.; Sen.-elect James Talarico, D-Texas; New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill; Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger; Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.; and former Obama advisor David Axelrod. "Democrats won big last week, but let’s be honest: the election was more a repudiation of Donald Trump than a validation of our party," Smith told Fox News Digital. "That’s why Majority Democrats is bringing together some of the biggest names and brightest new voices in Democratic politics at ‘What’s Next’ to have honest conversations about what worked, what didn’t and where our party goes from here." "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine what it means to be a Democrat, and our party can’t afford to squander it," she added.
