The first try was squashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Milwaukee is going for it again.
Mayor Tom Barrett says his city is bidding to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. He tweeted Wednesday that he formally responded to the Democratic National Committee’s invitation to compete again for the event. Milwaukee prepared for months and was ready to welcome 50,000 Democrats and media last year, but the pandemic forced a change in plans.
The convention became mostly virtual. There are reportedly nearly two dozen cities competing to host the next convention for the party.
