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.
Delegates will be housed in about 30 hotels in Chicago.
For more than a year, Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a co-chair of the Democratic National Committee and Mayor Lori Lightfoot have led a drive for Chicago to host the Democrats in 2024.
President Joe Biden called Pritzker to tell him about Chicago’s selection on Tuesday morning before leaving for Ireland.

The perfect city with just the right amount of corruption and crime for the party of con artists and criminals.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! GREAT idea!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
Can hosting the OLYMPICS be next??? LOL!
There will be a run on pooper scoopers in Chicago.
Can we have a replay of 1968?
Zer0 to have a triumphant homecoming!
Wonder if the DNC still has that stage set with the columns.
The Tigers winning the World Series?
Ya, I’m sure RFK jrs just thrilled about that choice.
In 1968 “the police were there to preserve disorder”.
With new Mayor-elect Let’s Go Brandon, we can only hope the police mostly quit by the time of this craptacular.
“Now it’s on to Chicago, and let’s win there!”
Instead of hippies and yippies we can have BLM, AntiFa, LGBTQI-MOUSE
Good choice. Both Obama and Clinton will be featured prominently, recalling their re-election triumphs in an effort to boost Biden.
That ought to be fun, with the shortage of body bags, and all.
With a little luck, the local predators will cut attendance down by 66%.
I have heard him on a few conservative podcasts. He has been listening to Seth’s people about big pharma cartels vax injuries long before trump gave them billions for covid vaxxes.
Guess RFKjr would not have saved however many lives trump is claiming to jave saved.
Nothing says victory, like burning it all down.
Oh, wait....that’s LA....no...Detroit....no, NYC.....no, DC....no, St Louis....well, you get the picture.
Mostly peaceful “celebrations”.
May it go as well as it did in ‘68.
