Thankfully, we’ve still got more than a year until we have to worry about the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Next summer’s gonna be a hot mess, y’all.
But for the Democrats, at least, it’s gonna be even hotter and even messier. Because they’ve reportedly officially settled on the location for their convention, and they’ve picked a veritable hell of a place to bring the stars of the Democratic Party together.
Won’t you please come to Chicago, show your face?
Scoop: Democratic National Committee selects Chicago to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. @JoeBiden called @GovPritzker this morning. Details… https://t.co/WxGOQvzrkh

BREAKING: Democrats chose Chicago to host their 2024 national convention. It's part of the party's effort to keep its momentum going after last fall's midterm election success in the critical Midwest. https://t.co/4ti0vJ3vFy

It’s a bold choice.

It sure is! Maybe Subway can be the exclusive catering company for the convention. Footlongs for everybody!
Inside the DNC, Chicago was viewed as the favorite b/c of appeal of its venue — the United Center — its stock of hotel suites and restaurants as well as the political and financial force of Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
Source also told me: Lori Lightfoot deserves huge credit for this.

OK, this is legit hilarious. I’m choosing to think that Lori Lightfoot’s final act as Mayor of Chicago was to make it the 2024 DNC host city before skipping out and leaving her successor holding the bag. A big, flaming garbage bag.
What an amazingly bad idea. https://t.co/SAmsf8d1gH

No! No! This is great! I mean, Chicago already had problems back when I was living there. But now? I may actually have to tune into this thing.
Perfect. https://t.co/sYiV3ATr60

Should do wonders for Chicago’s tourism industry.
Keep us posted on how many of them are robbed and/or shot, thanks!

I’m trying very unsuccessfully not to laugh at this whole thing. Y’all have fun, Democrats!
Will the security consist entirely of social workers? https://t.co/IpFlRXXljE

If so, they’d better be union social workers! A giant inflatable rat outside the convention won’t be a great look.
