Dickens said in part, \u201cYet again, the DNC and Chairman Ken Martin have shown they are unwilling to do the bare minimum to support the base of the party.\u201d Dickens emphasized that Atlanta has not hosted the convention in nearly four decades. <\/p>\n

The mayor added, \u201cThey are afraid to leave their comfort zone and blind to the fact that the South is the answer. They are abandoning Atlanta, abandoning the South, and once again abandoning Black voters.\u201d (RELATED: New DNC Chair Already Unsure If He Wants To Lead Party)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dickens learned that Atlanta was not selected when the Associated Press announced the finalists for consideration on Wednesday. The cities that remain in the running for the 2028 convention are Boston, Denver, and Philadelphia. <\/p>\n

Georgia has become an important battleground state for Democrats after voting for Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024. The Peach State\u2019s Senate delegation, Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, is entirely Democratic. <\/p>\n
