Potential 2028 Democratic Contenders Set to Gather in Cleveland

In a move that can only be described as a high-stakes audition for the 2028 presidential race, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and California Representative Ro Khanna are slated to converge on Cleveland this July. Their mission? To mingle with the Democratic Party’s prominent mayors and secure their support in what appears to be an ongoing, albeit unofficial, primary.

Joining them will be the Democratic Mayors Association (DMA) President and Cleveland’s very own Mayor Justin Bibb, along with key figures such as DNC Chair Ken Martin, former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, and current Ohio Representative Shontel Brown. Details of this gathering were first revealed to POLITICO, underscoring the event’s significance within the party’s evolving dynamics.

According to a source who requested anonymity—perhaps indicative of the event’s still fluid agenda—the summit aims to “showcase our cities, highlight how mayors are holding [former President Donald] Trump accountable, and demonstrate that government can indeed work for the people.” It’s a refreshing reminder that, amid the chaos of national politics, local governance can still inspire hope and action.

The summit will be themed “Community Over Chaos: A Path Forward,” a phrase that seems to resonate well in these politically turbulent times. Mayor Bibb expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I am excited to welcome my fellow Democratic mayors, special guests, and Democratic partners to my hometown of Cleveland for DMA’s National Summit later this summer. This year’s summit will be a showcase of our cities and how government at the local level still works for the people.” Such optimism is commendable, especially when considering the challenges facing urban leaders today.

This event is not just a gathering; it’s a strategic pivot for the DMA, aiming to adopt a more proactive stance than in previous years. Notably, this year marks the first time the DMA’s national summit will be open to the public and the media, a significant step towards transparency in local governance.

However, it’s crucial to acknowledge the precarious position of Democratic mayors, particularly in larger cities, who have become targets of the Trump administration’s policies. This backdrop adds an element of tension to the summit, as mayors navigate the complexities of local governance against a federal landscape that often feels hostile.

Both Beshear and Khanna are clearly laying the groundwork for potential presidential bids. Beshear has recently engaged a former spokesperson from Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and launched a podcast, while Khanna appears to be on a relentless media tour, attending various party events. Their early maneuvers suggest they are not merely spectators but active players in the 2028 game.

Yet, Ohio presents a confounding challenge for Democrats. Once a bellwether state, it has shifted decidedly away from the party in recent years. Sherrod Brown, a seasoned senator known for his connection to working-class voters, lost his seat in the last cycle, and Trump secured the state by a notable 11 percentage points. This trend reflects a broader realignment that raises questions about the Democratic strategy moving forward.

In conclusion, as Beshear and Khanna prepare to engage with Democratic mayors in Cleveland, the implications of their presence extend beyond mere networking. This summit could set the tone for the upcoming election cycle, emphasizing the importance of local leadership in a landscape that often feels chaotic and divided. Whether these mayors can translate their local successes into national momentum remains to be seen, but it’s clear that they are determined to try.
