Thanks, @rohanspatel. We're still waiting on the press credentials, though, despite reaching out directly to you and your @MajorityDems team about your concession. Can we confirm the press passes? Then we can all move on and focus on what will be transpiring at the conference.
What’s Next is over capacity and we have said no to friends, family and press. But we don’t want anyone, even those who label our elected leaders/staff/candidates fascists, to distract from a gathering of leaders from around the country. We will make a credential available to a Lever employee.View quoted post on X
WhatsNext2026.com will be live streamed, widely covered and I couldn’t be more excited about the lineup.
Majority Democrats barred us from their conference for exposing their billionaire donors. So we're creating a grassroots reporting network inside it. Attending? Volunteering? Work at a venue or know someone who does? Contact us. Signal: joelmwarner.33 We'll protect your identity
Also @mattcorridoni, our reporters worked closely with your team and included extensive comments in the story you're now shutting us out over. They've waited over a month for press credentials. Instead of responding thoughtfully, you're attacking them on Twitter.
Hey @mattcorridoni — I've tried reaching you about why The Lever was denied access to “What's Next.” Instead, you're publicly attacking our reporting as false, despite working closely with us on the story. Those are serious allegations. Let's talk.
“All of the public” there are thousand of attendees from every wing of the party attending. My phone has been blowing up all day with people saying they’re excited to come — none of them billionaires.View quoted post on X
As for sham outlets not given credentials, whole event will be live streamed.
