CHICAGO — At the site of this city’s victory lap after winning the Democratic National Convention, national party Chair Jaime Harrison confessed that a family member wanted him to forgo Chicago in favor of Georgia’s capital for the big event.
“My mama lives in Atlanta, and she wanted the grandkids for the whole week,” Harrison said to laughter from jubilant local leaders celebrating their city’s winning bid for the party’s premier 2024 political showcase.
Harrison’s mother wasn’t the only Georgia advocate senior Democrats heard from after President Joe Biden disappointed Atlanta by picking the Windy City to ring in his expected nomination for a second term.
