About our 2024 Democratic National Convention news
Latest news on the 2024 Democratic National Convention, in which delegates of the US Democratic Party will choose the party's nominees for president and vice president for the 2024 presidential election. The convention will take place from 19 to 22 August 2024 at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
Chicago was selected by the Democratic National Committee over Atlanta and New York, which were also finalists for the bid. Chicago last hosted a Democratic convention in 1996, when then-President Bill Clinton was nominated for a second term. The city also hosted the 1968 Democratic convention, which was marred by violent clashes between police and anti-war protesters.
