Chicago chosen as host city for 2024 DNC.

Chicago has been chosen to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention, beating out Atlanta and New York. The convention will be held from August 19-22, 2024. The decision was supported by top Democrats in neighboring Wisconsin and Michigan and is seen as a stronger place to "celebrate progressives and fight for abortion rights and other priorities." Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker's pledge to finance the Democratic convention provided a key edge to Chicago.
