As President Joe Biden nears his decision on where to hold his party’s showcase event next year, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens spoke with certainty about the city’s bid.
“We’re going to get the DNC,” Dickens told a crowd at an Atlanta Press Club event, adding that he’s optimistic Biden will send word of his decision about the Democratic National Convention soon after Tuesday’s State of the Union address.
The first-term mayor’s remarks underscore Atlanta’s confidence going into the final stages of a competition for the presidential nominating convention against Chicago and New York.
