Southern Democrats rally for Atlanta 2024 convention

Southern Democrats are banding together to urge President Joe Biden to select Atlanta for the 2024 Democratic National Convention, according to a letter obtained by NBC News, arguing the choice would solidify the party's gains in Georgia and demonstrate commitment to the entire region.

Atlanta is one of the three finalists to host the convention, along with New York City and Chicago. Houston was also in the running until recently; its mayor has now joined Atlanta’s bid, adding his name to the letter.

I feel like it's better to have these in competitive states, so doing it in Chicago would kind of be a waste. Plus, they just had it in Milwaukee in 2020 (although it wasn't really a convention because of Covid).
