DENVER - Fox News reported that Josh Shapiro, Elissa Slotkin, Cory Booker and Ruben Gallego tested 2028 messaging at a conference in Denver, according to a summary of its report on Democrats gathering in Denver.
The same summary said Chris Van Hollen "bowed out early" but does not state whether that refers to his departure from the conference or to a decision about a 2028 campaign.
The Fox News headline described the gathering as an effort to "size up 2028" and said the outlet asked who wants to enter the race. The summary does not include any responses to that question or name any other participants.
The summary also does not describe the specific messages the four speakers tested, the organizers of the conference, or any remarks made on stage. The number of attendees and the length of the event are not stated.
Fox News published the report on November 14, 2026, and the item lists no author. This account relies only on the headline and summary of that report and has not been checked against other outlets or the full article.
