NY Dems Press Biden To Select NYC For Convention

Punchbowl News reports:

Democrats from the high-powered New York delegation are lining up behind New York City’s bid to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), along with 16 of his congressional colleagues, are writing today to urge President Joe Biden to choose NYC over Atlanta or Chicago. The letter enjoys the support of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The New Yorkers also include this notable dig at Atlanta’s bid: “Following the reversal of Roe, New York has served as a national leader in the fight to preserve and protect women’s rights— promptly passing several legislative actions at the city and state levels. This starkly contrasts with states like Georgia, which quickly moved to allow one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation.”
