Chicago has been chosen to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention, outdoing New York and Atlanta. With President Biden leading the Democrats, the selection of Chicago amplifies a liberal city in the Midwest that embodies the party's ideals of civil and labor rights, abortion rights, and LGBTQ rights. The United Center will be the venue for the convention, running from August 19th to 22nd, 2024. By selecting Chicago as the location for the convention, the Democrats are competing with Republicans, who have scheduled their national convention to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, close to the Windy City. Governor J.B. Pritzker, a massive Democratic party contributor, advocated for Chicago and made certain that the city has the necessary infrastructure, money and experience to organize the massive event. For the first time since 1996, Chicago will be hosting the convention, which will provide President Biden with his first conventional nominating platform, after the mostly virtual event in 2020, held in Milwaukee due to the pandemic. Chicago's selection shows the Democrats' dedication to choosing a city that equally embodies their political beliefs and that weighs heavily in promoting their agenda.
