Democrats will hold their convention in 2020 earlier than they have in more than two decades, Democratic operatives tell CNN, partly out of anticipation of a crowded and contentious primary.
The Democratic National Convention is slated to take place from July 13 to July 16, 2020, almost two weeks earlier than the 2016 convention.
Democratic National Committee officials, including chair Tom Perez and interim DNC CEO Mary Beth Cahill, have considered a series of factors in deciding to host their biggest political event earlier than normal, party operatives tell CNN. But a key reason for the decision is the expectation the 2020 primary could be a combative affair with more than two dozen Democrats running, making it essential that the party allow more time for tensions to cool after a nominee is officially selected.
"The Democratic Party is committed to organizing everywhere and holding the convention in mid-July allows us to continue our work doing exactly that," Perez said in a statement. "My priority is to ensure that the 2020 nominating process is the most open, fair, transparent and inclusive in our party's history."
He added: "That is exactly why the DNC has started this process early and before we have a full slate of candidates running for president. This will not only allow for a unified party but will ensure that our nominee is in the strongest position to take on Donald Trump or whoever the Republican nominee may be."
By selecting the July week, the Democratic National Committee is also opting to hold their convention more than a week before the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which begins on July 24.

“My priority is to ensure that the 2020 nominating process is the most open, fair, transparent and inclusive in our party’s history.”
Dem platform: we love taxes, ISIS, MS-13, illegal immigrants, child molesters, Iran and the global elites.
It’s already tilted towards her.
Watch, third ballot, 4am, and someone says “We want Hillary!” The room goes nuts and just then, from behind the curtain Hillary appears. The balloons are released, everyone at CNN is hugging while Madonna fellates all the cameramen.
She comes to the mic, proud and noble as she appears and right when she is ready to give the victory speech she was supposed to give in 2016, she strokes out.
Too much ganja on the Left side I suppose.
I’d pay to see that.
Next time it will be motivated by more revenge and hatred that there is in hell. They are going to pull out all stops and use every dirty trick. Massive election fraud in a no brainer, especially in rust belt states that went for President Trump.
For example, it is proven that the Dems send buses full of "voters" from Illinois into neighboring states. Why hasn't anyone ever been prosecuted? It will be much worse next time around. Especially when the judiciary is stacked against us, and election laws will be generated on the fly.
The Left is kind of scary these days. They don't string ideas together in a coherent fashion. They just "arrive at conclusions".
You have 2 apples. I have 2 apples. If we put them all together, we prove that the Franco-Prussian War was fought in Japan. QED.
I had forgotten how crazy the DUmmies actually were. LOL
My dem dream team:
Hillary, Bernie, Algore, Biden, Mooshelle, some unknown triggered feminist, pajama boy, Al Franken, a real donkey.
any one I forgot?
It’s still Hillary’s turn!
ROTFLMAO!
LMAO.
Ryan & Warren
For the anti-American Chamber of Commerce & Communist voters...
The DNC didn't even let any serious contenders into the primaries against Hillary.
They were shocked when Bernie did so well.
That should have been the signal that Hillary didn't have the kind of appeal they took for granted.
