NEW YORK, April 11. /TASS/. Chicago has been selected to host the Democratic National Convention on August 19-22, 2024, which will nominate the party’s candidate for president, the Chicago Sun-Times said on Tuesday.

The Republican and Democratic Parties traditionally hold conferences in the summer ahead of the presidential election where they officially nominate their candidates for president. As a rule, a candidate is chosen in primaries but if several candidates score about the same number of votes in the primary election, the winner is determined by a part conference.

US President Joe Biden has said several times that he plans to run for president again in 2024 several times, but has not yet announced his plans officially.
