Democrats Weigh Mini-Convention Before Midterms

“Senior Democratic officials want to hold a rare national convention before the 2026 midterms to showcase candidates and emerging leaders of the party,” Axios reports.

“The event — a smaller version of the national conventions the party holds in presidential election years — would allow the party to fundraise and get media attention as it tries to win back both chambers of Congress next year.”

“It also could create a national stage for Democrats running in key House, Senate and governors’ races to frame their arguments against President Trump and his MAGA Republicans.”
