Democrats are placing a bet on Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson by selecting Chicago as the site of the party's 2024 national convention, hoping his progressive, labor-friendly policies will allow the city and the party to shine.
Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker have a laugh as Mayor Lori Lightfoot speaks during a news conference April 12, 2023, to celebrate Chicago's selection as the host for the 2024 Democratic National Convention.They’re betting the Chicago that delegates and reporters pour into for their national presidential nominating convention in August 2024 will be helmed by a progressive, labor-friendly mayor whose policies are making the city a better place.
Nonetheless, it’s Johnson’s Chicago the convention will highlight when Democrats convene in the United Center, the same building where Kerr drained his clutch jumper. Johnson, a former teacher and Chicago Teachers Union organizer whose public office experience is limited to barely more than a single term as a Cook County commissioner, sounds assured he can pull it off.
A party’s national convention gives the host city’s mayor a chance to raise their profile and that of their city by calling attention to their initiatives and how they are succeeding.
