In recent weeks, top Midwestern Democrats and business leaders engaged in a frenzied effort to bring the convention to their reguin, insisting that holding it in Wisconsin would help repair the frayed relationship between the party and heartland voters. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers, Sen. Tammy Baldwin and even Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker were involved in the behind-the-scenes overtures to the DNC.
In August, a coalition of Midwestern senators from Minnesota to Indiana to Ohio signed on to a letter to the DNC calling for a Milwaukee selection. “Democrats have not held a convention in the Midwest since 1996, and a Milwaukee convention would send a strong message to the nation that winning America’s heartland is a priority in the 2020 election cycle and beyond,” the group of senators wrote. “Wisconsin is a state with a deep progressive and Democratic history. It is an ideal place for our party to showcase our values, priorities and agenda in our commitment to fight for everyday Americans.

But there are still lingering concerns over whether or not the city has the hotel inventory to host a massive convention. For months, some DNC members have been complaining that Milwaukee would be "another Charlotte," a reference to the 2012 convention host city, which struggled to accommodate the influx of people.

In 2012, Dem convention was in Charlotte, yet the Republican nominee (Romney) won NC. In 2016, Dem convention was in Philly, yet the Republican nominee (Trump) won Pennsylvania. Milwaukee?!?

DNC makes 3 key hires for 2020All three bring significant campaign experience to the DNC ahead of the 2020 election, when Democrats will be fighting for victories from state legislatures to the White House.
