Democrats have awarded the 2024 presidential nominating convention to Chicago, opting for the largest city in the Midwest over Atlanta, according to a Democratic official briefed on the decision.
The event will be held from Aug. 19 to 22 at the United Center, an arena with a capacity of nearly 21,000 that is home to the Chicago Bulls basketball teams and the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team.
The decision awarded a Democratic-dominated state, where Gov. J.B. Pritzker had lobbied heavily for the event and promised to fundraise for its costs. The other finalists were Atlanta, the largest city in an increasingly purple state with a Republican-controlled state government, and New York City.
Republicans have previously announced their nominating convention for July 15 to 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The Democrats probably just chose Chicago to try to destroy all those documents that Obama stole. They’ll be serving different document recipes at all the events to get rid of the evidence.

Milwaukee. Biggest city in the swingiest state, that recently came back to its Democratic roots. This should be fun.

Obama's hometown is Mombasa.There's no place like Chicago! Michelle and I are thrilled to have the Democratic National Convention return to our hometown next year.

Executive summary: conventions provide at best only a marginal boost in the polls; it probably was better politics to reward a solidly blue state rather than try to entice a purple state.
