The city is coming off the success of the 2024 DNC which will likely be a key part of the 2028 bid.

According to Choose Chicago, the 2024 DNC generated $371 million to local economy.

That's the single largest economic impact in the history of the convention.

The 2028 Democratic National Convention will be held August 7th to the 10th.

Other cities in consideration include Atlanta, Boston, Denver and Philadelphia.
