The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was despondent over Democrats snubbing the Georgia capital in favor of Chicago for their party's 2024 national convention.
Democrats selected the city of Chicago in solid-blue Illinois for their 2024 national convention site over Atlanta and New York City.
"By forgoing Atlanta for blue-state Illinois, national Democrats are also jettisoning a chance to gain a bigger foothold in a pivotal battleground state that both parties see as key to winning in 2024," the outlet reported. Southern Democrats also said it would have been another chance to show the party wasn't neglecting Black supporters, as they were instrumental to Biden's narrow victory in Georgia in 2020.
"From the King Center to Ebenezer Baptist Church to the mural of John Lewis and the Carter Center, Atlanta is built around living reminders that the fight for justice and equality was fought here," she wrote, adding,"If big-money promises and easy politics are more your thing, that's fine, too… Just remember Democrats, with Atlanta, you had your chance."

AP source: Democrats pick Chicago to host 2024 conventionDemocrats have chosen Chicago to host their 2024 national convention. The selection is intended to keep the party’s momentum going after last fall’s midterm election success in the critical Midwest. President Joe Biden chose Chicago over finalists that also included Atlanta and New York. Chicago is solidly Democratic, as is Illinois. But holding the party’s convention in such a pro-union city underscores Biden’s commitment to organized labor, which will be critical to his bid to win a second term. Democrats also had a strong showing in Michigan last fall and are hoping to repeat that elsewhere in region. The choice could counter Republicans, who last summer decided to hold their 2024 convention in Milwaukee.
