Chicago officials celebrate DNC success
Chicago leaders are celebrating a successful four-day Democratic National Convention as the city starts dismantling the security measures around the United Center and McCormick Place.
Officials including Mayor Brandon Johnson have moved just as fast to declare the convention a success and that Chicago's global image is in very good shape.
"As far as the world is concerned, yeah, look, I think it's pretty clear. People fell back in love with Chicago. They fell back in love with Chicago. I keep telling you this is the great love story," Johnson said Friday.
Fifty-thousand people came to Chicago for the DNC, truly putting the city's reputation on the line. The fact that the convention went off so smoothly, without any significant issues, thrilled organizers and officials.
