Democrats are in welcoming territory with a Chicago convention. Chicago is a Democratic stronghold that "was part of the 'blue wall' crucial to the Biden-Harris victory in 2020 and will be for a Harris-Walz victory in November," according to the DNC.
"Chicago is the perfect place to bring the story of Vice President Harris, Governor Walz, and the Democratic Party to the American people. Chicago represents the diversity of the Democratic Party and the country," according to the DNC.
