Philadelphia To Host 2016 Democratic National Convention.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee stated,

I am thrilled to announce that Philadelphia will host the convention where we will nominate the 45th president of the United States,” Wasserman Schultz said. “In addition to their commitment to a seamless and safe convention, Philadelphia’s deep-rooted place in American history provides a perfect setting for this special gathering. I cannot wait to join Democrats across the country to celebrate our shared values, lay out a Democratic vision for the future, and support our nominee.”

Brooklyn, N.Y., and Columbus, Ohio, were the other finalists for the Democratic bid.

The party will begin on July 25, 2016.
