Organizers of Chicago’s bid to host the 2024 Democratic convention are kicking into high gear, triggered by the Democratic National Committee’s release of the document detailing the gigantic commitment of money, union hotel rooms and related venues needed to land the event.
Chicago and seven other cities — including Atlanta and Houston — were asked by the DNC to submit a bid by May 27, sending a “Request for Proposal” on Friday. The convention is expected to be held in the summer of 2024, although exact dates have not yet been selected.
