(AP) -Wisconsin’s top Democrats say choosing Milwaukee to host the national convention shows the importance the Midwest state will play in the 2020 election.Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin said Monday that there is “no better place to showcase the Democratic Party’s vision for the future than in Wisconsin.” The Democratic National Committee picked Milwaukee over Miami and Houston. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez calls the decision a “missed opportunity for our nation” that Miami wasn’t picked.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says “Milwaukee is a first-class city,” and it’s ready to show off “on one of the largest stages in the world.” The convention is expected to attract more than 50,000 visitors in July 2020.
