Potential 2028 Democratic Contenders Court Black Voters at National Action Network Convention

Potential Democratic presidential candidates for 2028 gathered at the National Action Network convention to share their political visions and build support among Black voters. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker was among the speakers who used the event to signal a possible run and connect with a key voting bloc at the conference. The convention, hosted by the Reverend Al Sharpton, served as an early test for candidates to discuss civil rights and critique the current administration's foreign policy regarding Iran. This gathering provided the first major look at the potential 2028 field as leaders sought to align themselves with civil rights priorities at the convention. Sharpton evaluated the speakers as they addressed the audience, marking a significant step in the early stages of the next primary cycle at the event.
