Democrats narrow their list of 2028 presidential convention sites to Boston, Denver and Philadelphia
The finalists offer fundraising access and suburban support as party leaders weigh logistics and battleground politics before a final decision later this year.
- On Thursday, Democrats narrowed the list of potential host cities for their 2028 presidential convention to Boston, Denver and Philadelphia as the party prepares for a wide-open primary to succeed President Donald Trump.
- The party did not specify why Atlanta and Chicago, which hosted the 2024 convention, were eliminated from consideration. Philadelphia, Denver, and Boston previously hosted in 2016, 2008, and 2004 respectively.
- These three finalists are liberal hubs bordered by suburbs vital to Democratic electoral strategy, while also providing access to labor unions, key demographics, and significant fundraising resources.
- Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said the cities submitted "incredibly strong bids," and party leaders expect to make a final selection later this year.
- Before the presidential primary gets into gear, Democrats are focused on this year's midterms to reclaim the Republican-led House and Senate; Republicans have already selected Houston for their 2028 convention.
