The 2024 Democratic National Convention is a presidential nominating convention in which delegates of the United States Democratic Party will select the party's nominees for president and vice president in the 2024 United States presidential election. It is scheduled to be held August 19 to 22, 2024, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.[3][1] The prospective president may be nominated in early August via an online process, if presumptive nominee Kamala Harris is the only candidate.

By tradition,[4] because the Democratic Party currently holds the White House, its convention will be conducted after the 2024 Republican National Convention, which was held from July 15 to 18, 2024. Due to conflict with ballot deadlines, the Democratic National Committee voted to allow an early online nomination vote. Following President Joe Biden's debate performance and decision on July 21 to withdraw his candidacy,[5] which has been described by The New York Times as starting a campaign "unlike any in modern times",[6] he endorsed Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, who is making a bid for the party's presidential nomination at the convention.[7] As of July 22, 2024, enough convention delegates have pledged support for Harris to make her the presumptive nominee.[8]

Early developments

[edit]

Amid the downsizing of the 2020 Democratic National Convention held in various parts of the United States, including its main host city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in a virtual format impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was discussion among some notable individuals in Milwaukee about the city pushing to receive the 2024 convention as consolation.[9][10][11] Speculation existed that, due to the circumstances surrounding the downsizing of the 2020 convention, Milwaukee would be a front-runner to host the convention if it pursued it.[12] Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett was open to the city hosting either a Democratic or Republican convention in 2024.[13]

In the summer of 2021, Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison sent letters to over twenty cities inviting them to bid to host the convention.[14]

Officials in Columbus, Ohio, had, since at least 2019, discussed trying to seek either the Democratic or Republican convention in 2024.[15]

After being one of approximately twenty cities that Harrison invited to bid, Barrett wrote Harrison a letter indicating the city's interest in hosting the party's 2024 convention.[16][17] Milwaukee was also bidding to host the 2024 Republican National Convention.[18]

Nashville, Tennessee, took action to pursue the Democratic Convention. Nashville also bid to host the Republican National Convention.[18]

Top Democrats from Illinois, including Governor J. B. Pritzker, Senator Tammy Duckworth, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot, laid the groundwork to host the Convention in Chicago.[19] Chicago has hosted the most major-party presidential nominating conventions of any city (14 Republican, 11 Democratic). The 1968 Democratic National Convention was mired in violence between anti-war demonstrators and the Chicago Police Department. The most recent convention (1996 Democratic National Convention) saw the renomination of Bill Clinton and Al Gore.[20] On May 3, 2022, Chicago launched a website to promote the city as a potential host for the convention.[21] Facilities in Chicago mentioned as potential primary venues include the United Center, Wintrust Arena, and Navy Pier.[22]

In May 2022, Atlanta and New York City also announced bids for the convention.[23][24] New York City had not previously been expected to bid.[25]

Official bid process

Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and New York City submitted bids by the May 28, 2022, deadline.[25] In January 2023, Democratic National Committee officials confirmed that the finalist cities would be Atlanta, Chicago, and New York City, with Houston no longer being considered.[26]

Early into Chicago's bid, in addition to proposing United Center as the primary venue and McCormick Place as a possible venue for secondary convention business, Museum Campus, Navy Pier, and Wintrust Arena were also additionally floated as facilities that could additionally be used for secondary convention business.[25][27][28] The Chicago bid was chiefly championed by Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot.[29] Bid supporters touted the city's large airports, cultural attractions, and the central location of the convention venues and the hotels where delegates and other visitors would stay.[29] They argued that Chicago's location in the Midwest would be wise given the high importance for the Democrats of the nearby "Blue Wall" states of Wisconsin and Michigan.[29] Democratic Party leaders in other Midwestern states threw their support behind Chicago's bid.[30] They also touted that the city's hotels generally employ union laborers.[29] Governor Pritzker, a billionaire who had contributed large sums to the organization fundraising for Chicago's effort, made a pledge to the Democratic Party that the party itself would not incur any financial losses from the organization of the convention.[29][31] The remaining mayoral candidates in the 2023 Chicago mayoral election runoff, Brandon Johnson and Paul Vallas, vowed to provide their support the city's effort to host the convention.[32] The victory of the progressive Johnson over the more conservative Vallas in the city's runoff election was speculated to have helped Chicago's prospects.[33]

Supporters of Atlanta's bid argued that a convention in their city could aid the Democrats in making political inroads in the South,[34] touting the city's history in civil rights activism and its state's recent ascendence in 2020 to become a key swing state in presidential and U.S. Senate elections. These points were countered by New York and Chicago backers, who criticized the city's lack of unionized hotels and the state's "Right to Work" law as discordant with the party's alliance with organized laborers.[29]

On April 11, 2023, it was announced that Chicago had been selected as the convention's location, with the United Center to serve as the primary venue and McCormick Place to be a secondary facility used for various early-day convention activities.[29] Chicago and the previously selected Republican National Convention host city, Milwaukee, are approximately 90 miles apart on the coast of Lake Michigan. Not since 1972, when both conventions last shared a host city, have the major party convention sites been so closely located.[35] Illinois is regarded to be a solidly Democratic state.[36] No party has opted to hold their convention in a non-swing state since the 2004 election, though Chicago is within a few hours' drive of the swing states of Wisconsin and Michigan.[37]

Logistics

[edit]
A portion of Chicago's McCormick Place convention center, to be utilized for secondary convention business

The convention is scheduled to be held August 19–22, 2024. The United Center, previously the location of the 1996 Democratic National Convention, will be the convention's primary location. McCormick Place will host secondary business of the convention. The convention is anticipated to be attended by between 5,000 and 7,000 delegates and alternate delegates. Approximately thirty hotels in the city will be used to provide lodging to convention delegates. The convention is expected to bring an overall 50,000 visitors to Chicago.[29]

There will be three funding sources for the convention. The bid committee pledged that the host committee would raise $84.697 million. Through 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee Inc., money will be raised in accordance with the Federal Election Commission's regulations. Additionally, $50 million will be received in federal funds for security costs, as has been the case for all major party conventions since 2004. An effort is underway to urge Congress to increase this to $75 million. The Democratic National Committee also requested the bidding cities agree to open a $30 million line of credit, which Chicago agreed to do.[39]

Convention leadership

[edit]

On August 8, 2023, convention leadership was announced. Minyon Moore was named the chair of the convention.[40] Alex Hornbrook was named executive director, and Louisa Terrell was named a senior advisor. In his role as senior advisor to the Biden Victory Fund, Roger Lau was assigned an expanded role to provide advice to the convention leadership.[41]

Security

[edit]

$50 million in federal funding will be provided for security spending.[39] As a major party presidential nominating convention, the 2024 Democratic National Convention will be designated a National Special Security Event. It will be the second such event held in Chicago to receive this designation, with the first having been the 2012 NATO Summit. By June 2023, the United States Secret Service had begun collaborating on preparations for the convention with the Chicago Police Department and other police departments that will be involved in convention security.[42]

Protests and demonstrations related to the U.S. government's support for Israel in their ongoing invasion of Gaza are expected to emerge while the convention is being held. In preparation for the event, party leaders demonstrated confidence in Chicago Police and federal officials to manage protestors, using such methods as drawing set parameters for demonstrations to take place, as well as initiating mass arrests in cases of these regulations being violated. As of April 2024, organizers expect as many as 30,000 protestors in Chicago during the convention.[43] Commentators have drawn comparisons between the upcoming convention and the 1968 convention, also held in Chicago, in which protests opposed to the Vietnam War turned violent when the city utilized extreme levels of police brutality to suppress the protestors.[44][45]

In May 2024, Politico reported that party leaders were considering limiting in-person gatherings at United Center to primetime sessions only to reduce the possibility of disruption, which would include holding official business to McCormick Place (and the possibility of the formal certification taking place before the convention due to conflicts with deadline requirements in Ohio), and retaining elements of 2020's convention (including a focus on prerecorded segments such as the virtual roll call).[46]

In light of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13, the Secret Service will secure the United Center and the immediate area surrounding it, and the Chicago Police Department will secure everything outside the inner perimeter, with both agencies securing rooftops of all buildings that may have a line of sight to the United Center.[47]

Adoption of early virtual nomination vote

[edit]

In April, Ohio officials warned the Biden campaign that they would not delay Ohio's August 7, deadline to get on the ballot, as Ohio had done in 2012 and 2020. On May 28, the Democratic National Committee proposed an early online nomination vote, but its Rules and Bylaws Committee needed to vote on amending the call to the convention, and the full Democratic National Committee needed to vote on adopting the amendment.[48] On June 2, Ohio passed a law delaying its deadline, but because the law was set to take effect at the end of August, the DNC said it would continue with a virtual roll call vote in order to avoid litigation from Republicans.[49][50] On June 4, the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee voted to amend the call to let the Democratic National Convention Committee to advance the convention's dates and to allow the convention's committees to adopt the permanent rules and permanent list of delegates early for the virtual nomination vote.[49][51] On June 20, the full Democratic National Committee voted 360 to 2 to approve the amendment for an official online nomination vote before Ohio's deadline.[52]

After Biden's performance at the June presidential debate caused concern among Democrats, some House Democrats circulated a letter on July 16 proposing that the "virtual roll call" vote be cancelled,[53] fearing it would occur the next week.[50] On July 17, the DNC decided that the virtual roll call vote should be no earlier than August 1 after concerns from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.[54] On July 19, the Democratic National Convention's Rules Committee met to deliberate on the virtual nomination vote but went into recess without adopting any rules.[55] After Biden withdrew from the nomination on July 21 and gave Vice President Kamala Harris his endorsement, Harris said she did not want a virtual roll call and preferred a process that follows regular order.[56] On July 22, the DNC laid out a draft plan[57] affirming a virtual nomination vote in the first week of August.[58] On July 24, the Democratic National Convention's Rules Committee passed the draft rules for the early virtual nomination vote by a vote of 157 to 3.[59]

The abbreviated campaign

[edit]

On July 21, the presumptive nominee President Joe Biden announced that he would not seek reelection. That same day, he endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.[60] Biden dropping out freed the DNC delegates bound to him from their pledge to vote for his nomination.[61]

A couple of hours after Biden's announcement, Harris announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination.[62] The next day, Harris secured tentative support from well beyond the majority of convention delegates needed to win the upcoming vote and become the party's nominee for president.[63] By July 23, leaders of the party, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi,[64] House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer[65] coalesced around Harris's candidacy, including those mentioned as possible contenders such as Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer[66] and California Governor Gavin Newsom.[67]

Marianne Williamson initially announced she would challenge Harris for the nomination,[68] but eventually declined to file for nomination before the deadline.[69] On the day of Biden's withdrawal, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, who left the Democratic Party in May 2024, was reported to be considering a presidential run against Harris at the convention,[70] though by the following day, he had ruled it out.[71]

Candidates were to be formally nominated beginning July 25[72] and no later than 6pm EDT on July 27. Candidates need to accrue the support of at least 300 delegates each, with no more than 50 from any one state delegation, by 6pm EDT on July 30. If a second ballot is necessary (because no candidate polled a majority on the first ballot), only the top two candidates would appear on the second ballot.[73][74] Delegates may vote for any candidate.[75]

Pre-convention delegate count

[edit]

The table below reflects the presumed delegate count as per the end of the delegate selection process, followed by the totals following the withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election. In addition to these, there will also be superdelegate votes only if more than a single round of voting occurs.

Pritzker of Illinois, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Tim Walz of Minnesota, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Roy Cooper of North Carolina,[81][82][83][84][85][86] along with Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg of Michigan. [g][90][91]

Platform drafting process

[edit]

On July 9, the convention's Platform Committee held a hearing in which there was a call for an end to U.S. military aid to the government of Israel.[92] On July 11, the committee held a meeting to draft the party platform. The draft did not include a call to end military aid to Israel, instead calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. It also called for raising a billionaire income tax, lowering childcare costs for low-income families, investing in clean energy, codifying Roe v. Wade, advancing voting rights, banning assault weapons, and expanding Social Security and Medicare. Although it removed mentions of "Black lives matter", it included police reform and the studying of reparations. It removed a mention of Medicare for All but called for ending medical debt. It does not call for declaring a national climate emergency.[93] On July 16, the Platform Committee submitted the draft platform for the approval of the full convention.[94]
