Biden's headaches in 2024

February 10, 2023



(Axios) ⸻ Chicago Democrats are pushing President Biden to choose their city for the 2024 Democratic National Convention, warning that hosting the event in a right-to-work state like Georgia would be a major insult to the labor movement. Atlanta, Chicago and New York are the leading cities being considered to host, but Atlanta is in a right to-work state and Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia have said such initiatives should be banned nationwide. The last time labor felt rebuffed by a Democratic president's convention site selection, it boycotted and redirected money and time to a different event. The DNC has approved Biden's preferred primary order of South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada on Feb. 3, Georgia on Feb. 6, Michigan on Feb. 13, and New Hampshire on Feb. 27. New Hampshire's state Constitution dictates that it host the first presidential primary one week before any other state, and Democrats can't unilaterally change that. If Atlanta hosts the convention over Chicago, Biden's tension with labor unions and working-class voters will be exposed.
