Democrats announced that their 2016 convention will be the week of July 25, one week after Republicans have their convention in Cleveland, scheduled for July 18-21, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

Ohio Democrats “believe the date is a good sign of the city’s chances to land the convention. One of the reasons is that planning for and providing security for both the DNC and RNC will be much easier and much less expensive, given that the cities are less than three hours apart by car.”
