As we start 2023, here’s the latest on the 2024 Republican and Democratic National Conventions:

  • The GOP has announced their 2024 dates for their Milwaukee convention: July 15-18.  Two thoughts:  First, the Democrats get to go second (as the party in the White House), and will likely schedule to start on Monday Aug 19 or Aug 26.

  • Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens makes the case:
