As the 2020 Democratic primary heats up, the Democratic Party has announced it will host its 2020 National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in July. Wisconsin had been a reliably blue state for presidential elections since 1984 but voted for Donald Trump in 2016. DNC Chair Tom Perez said of the decision, “This is a statement of our values. The Democratic Party is the party of working people, and Milwaukee is a city of working people.” The Republican National Convention will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August 2020.
