Democrats Will Move Up 2020 Convention

June 16, 2018 at 2:04 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Democrats will hold their 2020 national convention in mid-July — two weeks earlier than the party’s 2016 event, a move Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez says ‘will not only allow for a unified party, but will ensure that our nominee is in the strongest position to take on Donald Trump or whoever the Republican nominee may be,'” ABC News reports.

“The DNC has also narrowed down the potential sites for their 2020 conventions, and are considering eight potential host cities: Atlanta, Birmingham, Denver, Houston, Miami Beach, Milwaukee, New York and San Francisco.”
