NEW YORK — Eight years after New York City’s failed attempt to host the Democratic National Convention, Mayor Eric Adams is giving it another shot.

The Democratic mayor is entering a national contest with his counterparts from Chicago, Atlanta and other cities to host the presidential nominating convention in 2024, according to a person familiar with the bid and a document reviewed by POLITICO.

The mayor’s team is finalizing its application ahead of a May 27 submission deadline and the winner is expected to be announced later this year. New York was among the cities urged to bid on hosting the high-profile event, added the person, who was granted anonymity to speak freely about a not-yet-public matter.

Leading the effort within City Hall are Chief of Staff Frank Carone and Deputy Mayor for Economic & Workforce Development Maria Torres-Springer.

1. Would like to see Atlanta or Charlotte this go around....

Still sad Milwaukee kind of got shafted by Covid, and would love to them get a second shot in 2028 or 2032. Other cities in battleground states like Phoenix or Detroit would also be good.

2. Charlotte got 2012 and Milwaukee is too small...

They were going to be putting people in hotels at O'Hare Airport - 90 minutes away.

3. ..which would only reinforce the RW narrative of NYC being a Democratic

stronghold - which it already is. Maybe better to pick a smaller blue city in a red/purple state - like Cincinnati, Phoenix, or Tampa?
