Democrats weigh mini-convention before 2026 midterms [1]

Axios:
Senior Democratic officials want to hold a rare national convention before the 2026 midterms to showcase candidates and emerging leaders of the party, people familiar with the conversations tell Axios.
Why it matters: 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
State of play: Ken Martin, the new chair of the Democratic National Committee, quietly has been pushing the idea with party leaders in Minneapolis this week during his first meeting as DNC chair.
