Democrats' Convention Plans Upended: Chicago to Host 2024 DNC Instead of Atlanta

Atlanta Democrats were shocked by the news that Chicago was chosen to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention instead of Atlanta. Local officials were confident that Atlanta would be selected, but national party leaders were impressed by Chicago's ample hotel suites, pro-union stance, and setting as the heart of the "blue wall" in the Upper Midwest. Local Democrats worry that Biden's proposal to move Georgia earlier in the 2024 primary schedule is doomed, depriving the state of another prize in the next campaign cycle.
