The Democratic Party is looking for a 2024 convention host that will positively “showcase” the party’s values and diversity, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said during his visit to Chicago Tuesday. He also emphasized the role of convention logistics and downplayed the importance of a swing-state locale, both signs pointing to Chicago’s status as a serious contender to host the event.
