(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Chicago could potentially be the site of the next Democratic National Convention, in 2024, a published report says.
The head of a political consulting firm says they are working with Gov. JB Pritzker and other key Democrats in Illinois to prepare a bid for leaders of the party. Chicago last hosted a Democratic convention in 1996, at the United Center.
“From previous Democratic Conventions to the NATO Summit and annual large-scale events like the Air & Water Show, Chicago has a track record of successfully hosting large-scale events, and has the leadership required to make a convention a success,” Tarrah Cooper Wright of Rise Strategy Group said in a written statement provided to WBBM Newsradio.
The report comes as Republican Party leaders are considering Nashville and Milwaukee as their site of their 2024 convention.
The story was first reported by NBC News.
