DNC Announces Frontrunner Cities and Date for 2028 Convention, Will Not Hold Midterm Convention

The Democratic National Committee shortlists five cities based on partnerships, values, logistics, and fundraising ability to host the August 2028 convention.

  • The Democratic National Committee announced Monday that Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia are finalists to host the Aug. 7-10, 2028 convention.
  • DNC leaders note bid committees submitted proposals and met with party teams this year, while host committees must demonstrate fundraising capacity and security readiness for the event.
  • Visit Philadelphia reported that Philadelphia has more than 19,000 hotel rooms and a likely indoor venue at Xfinity Mobile Arena, supporting its bid to host the 2028 convention.
  • Site visits scheduled for later this year will see DNC leaders and advisers assess Philadelphia, with Mayor Cherelle L. Parker playing a major planning role, as the party evaluates finalists.
  • With national context, Chicago is a repeat finalist after hosting the 2024 convention, while the DNC ruled out a midterm convention this year amid stark financial differences with the RNC.
