Chicago selected as host city for 2024 Democratic National Convention.

The Democratic Party has chosen Chicago as the site of its 2024 convention. President Joe Biden called Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker to tell him about Chicago’s selection Tuesday morning. Chicago was first viewed as a leading contender more than a year ago. The City of Big Shoulders last hosted a convention in 1996, when then-President Bill Clinton ran for re-election and Democrats helped make famous the “Macarena” dance. Republicans are holding their 2024 convention in Milwaukee.
