This week, the City of Atlanta lost their bid to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention<\/a> to Chicago. New York City was also in the running. This will be the Democratic National Committee\u2019s first convention since 2016, after the 2020 affair was scaled back considerably due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

The last time Atlanta hosted a Democratic National Convention was July 18-21, 1988 at the venerable Omni Arena.<\/p>\n

According to sources, Chicago checked the boxes with regards to logistics (the city is served by two airports), hotel rooms (downtown Chicago has more than 45,000 hotel rooms), and has previously hosted both major party conventions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that the Midwest is key to holding the White House and electing Democrats up and down the ticket in 2024. Now, after all, Chicago and the entire Midwest looks like America and is the capitol at the heart of the nation,\u201d Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

One thing is true: Democrats\u2019 hopes of winning in 2024 rests on the Blue Wall. Recently, liberal judge Janet Protasiewicz won a seat on Wisconsin\u2019s state Supreme Court, flipping the body\u2019s ideological majority. Additionally, the Governors of Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin implored Democratic National Committee Chairman Jamie Harrison as they argued for Chicago because the midwest is central to the Democrats outlook in 2024.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s also true: Georgia has become a player in national politics.<\/p>\n

During the 2022 Democratic state party dinner, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams jointly announced the City of Atlanta would bid for the 2024 Democratic National Convention. During their speech, Dickens and Williams acknowledged the impact of the late John Lewis while reminding everyone that Georgia is becoming a purple state on the national level. They both used the phrase, \u201cAtlanta Influences Everything,\u201d a popular sentence that describes the city\u2019s supremacy in pop culture and now in politics.<\/p>\n

In a little more than two months after the announcement, Atlanta rolled out the red carpet for the Democratic brass. DNC Chairman Jamie Harrison and his leadership committee were wowed at the connectivity and cooperation between State Farm Arena, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the Georgia World Congress Center. They marveled at Atlanta\u2019s footprint because of the accessibility of the hotels and the tourist attractions such as the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coke, and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights as possible sites for smaller meetings and breakout sessions.<\/p>\n

One of the reasons Atlanta fell out of the running was due to the fact Governor Pritzker guaranteed the DNC would not go into debt while hosting the convention in Chicago. When the convention was hosted in the United Center in 1996, the DNC broke even.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the DNC was worried about the labor unions\u2019 smaller footprint in Georgia compared to Illinois and New York. During the visits, there were concerns about the Atlanta hotels that did not have labor union representation. For the Democratic brass, staying in hotels that employs individuals backed by labor unions is a serious matter of conscience. Conversely, Georgia is a right-to-work state, and therefore, the contributions from labor unions would have been reduced.<\/p>\n

For reference, it was the pro-labor movement that propelled Brandon Johnson to victory in the recent Chicago mayor\u2019s race on April 4th.<\/p>\n

\u201cIllinois is home to a bustling metropolis, a strong rural tradition, thriving suburbs, not to mention a long-standing history rooted in civil rights and workers\u2019 rights and reproductive rights,\u201d Governor Pritzker added.<\/p>\n

While Georgia Democrats have sent Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael G. Warnock to the United States Senate in recent times, and the Biden Administration has representatives in the state of Georgia nearly every week, the Republicans currently control the Governor\u2019s Mansion and the Legislature. While Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens referred to Georgia as \u201cthe battleground that would decide the 2024 election,\u201d the moment Stacey Abrams lost her rematch to Republican incumbent governor Brian P. Kemp in November 2022 certainly dampened the outlook of Atlanta\u2019s prospects.<\/p>\n

During Governor Kemp\u2019s tenure, the Conservatives\u2019 grip on the Peach State\u2019s political scene has grown. For example, Georgia has seen the women\u2019s right to choose become severely restricted, funding for public education was almost curtailed during 2023\u2019s Georgia General Assembly legislative session due to a concerted push for school choice, and equitable access to the ballot box has been made tougher in Georgia\u2019s larger counties, as well as the City of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

By comparison, Illinois has banned assault rifles, codified abortion rights, approved a $15 per hour minimum wage, and allowed gender-affirming procedures.<\/p>\n

Atlanta\u2019s bid was exceptional. No stone was left unturned, the heavy hitters in Georgia\u2019s statewide Democratic base showed up, answered questions, and made themselves available for DNC Chairman Jamie Harrison and his operatives. And yes, Harrison\u2019s mother stressed to him how important it was for Atlanta to host this event as an acknowledgment to the city\u2019s role in the Civil Rights Movement and the South\u2019s growing influence in national politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it is disappointing that we will not gather in Atlanta in 2024 you can count on southern Democrats to be there with bells and whistles on to help you and @JoeBiden cause a little #GoodTrouble2024 in Chicago!\u201d former Sen. Doug Jones (D-Alabama), tweeted Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In the end, it was the Georgia Conservatives\u2019 tight grip on Peach State politics that severely hampered the City of Atlanta\u2019s chances at hosting the 2024 Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n

\u201cDriven by the strength of our richly diverse coalition of voters, Georgia has become the country\u2019s premier battleground state, delivering historic wins for Democrats and changing the trajectory of our entire nation,\u201d U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams said.\u00a0\u201cGeorgia represents\u00a0the future of the Democratic Party \u2014 and we will continue to invest in that future by working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n
