Milwaukee beat out Houston and Miami, which had mounted an unsuccessful final lobbying blitz to be the host city
On Monday, the Democratic National Committee announced it had selected Milwaukee, Wisconsin to host its 2020 presidential convention, a move that offers real and symbolic significance after Hillary Clinton skipped the state in the 2016 presidential race, then went on to lose it to President Donald Trump..
Alex Lasry, chair of Milwaukee’s bid committee, said the selection signals “the importance of Wisconsin and the Midwest for winning the presidency.” He added: “Landing the Democratic National Convention is an unprecedented opportunity to put Milwaukee on the international stage.”Sign Up DNC chair Tom Perez echoed as much in an email to DNC members on Monday, adding that Democrats in the state had made notable gains, including ousting longtime Republican Gov. Scott Walker last year.
