Democrats have chosen Milwaukee as the site for their 2020 national convention
The decision means the world of Democratic politics will head to Wisconsin, a state the party failed to win during the 2016 election, to pick their 2020 nominee. The move is a signal that the party believes winning back the upper Midwest could be central to their plans to oust President Donald Trump.Milwaukee was one of three finalists and the city defeated Miami Beach and Houston.
Democrats moved the convention up out of anticipation of a crowded and contentious primary."The Democratic Party is committed to organizing everywhere and holding the convention in mid-July allows us to continue our work doing exactly that," Tom Perez said in a statement when he announced the early convention."My priority is to ensure that the 2020 nominating process is the most open, fair, transparent and inclusive in our party's history.
