Democrats Choose Chicago and Midwest Focus for 2024 After Pandemic Setback

The Democratic Party has selected Chicago to host its 2024 national convention, reflecting a bid to strengthen support in the Midwest.
The move comes after Democrats were forced to hold a mostly virtual convention in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Republicans plan to hold their convention in neighboring Milwaukee, highlighting the Midwest's importance as a political battleground.
Chicago beat New York and Atlanta for the convention, despite crime concerns, due to its infrastructure, pro-union stance, and support from wealthy donors.
President Biden is expected to accept the Democratic nomination for a second term at the convention, though he has not yet announced his candidacy.
