    DNC Announces 2016 Convention Date, No Host City Yet

    “This is the next step to finalize where and when we will nominate the 45th President of the United States, highlight the Democratic Party’s agenda of fighting for expanded opportunity and contrast it with the Republican Party’s commitment to the fortunate few,” said DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. “We are still in discussions with three excellent cities and are looking forward to a diverse and inclusive convention that displays our party’s values.”

    Those three cities include Columbus, New York and Philadelphia. Regardless of whether or not Columbus hosts the DNC, Ohio will be a political hotspot in 2016, with Cleveland already having secured host duties for the Republican National Convention from July 18 to July 21.
