The 2024 Democratic convention will be in Chicago Aug. 19-22, with delegates meeting each evening in the United Center.
WASHINGTON — The Democratic National Committee selected Chicago to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention, the Sun-Times has learned, with the city beating bids from Atlanta and New York.
The convention will take place Aug. 19-22 next year. It is expected to draw between 5,000 and 7,000 delegates and alternates and attract up to 50,000 visitors to Chicago.
Evening events will be at the United Center — the main site of the 1996 Democratic convention in Chicago — with daytime business to be conducted at the McCormick Place Convention Center, the location of the 2012 NATO Summit.
Thank goodness Atlanta lost. We had enough problems in 2020 with the BLM/Antifa terrorism campaigns. I hope Chicago is ready for another 1968.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they will dig up david crosby so he can sing protest songs.
ReplyDeletewas there in 68. Now we have Police who aren't allowed to do they're jobs and a States Attorney who won't do her job, a Sheriff who's jail is always full, showcasing a President who has destroyed this country (and being unaware of it) - what can go wrong?
