Chicago has been selected the host of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, a huge economic and prestigious boon to the city, national Democratic Party officials announced Tuesday.
The selection came after months of both intensive public and private lobbying by the cities that focused not only on promoting their particular city’s hosting abilities but also by taking shots at how the others lacked the ability to showcase Democratic values. “I want to go to a city and I want to select the city for the president who’s going to help put on the best showcase for the Democratic Party and to showcase the diversity and inclusion and the opportunity that this party creates and presents,” Harrison said.
Major labor unions, New York’s congressional delegation and the Chicago Federation of Labor each lobbed criticism at Atlanta, with the CFL running a digital ad promoting Chicago as “the hometown of the American labor movement.” Pritzker, in welcoming the DNC’s site selection committee to Chicago last July, said the Democratic Party’s national agenda was a “policy alignment that we share in the state of Illinois and among Democrats.”
