Democrats have reportedly chosen a site for their 2020 convention.

The 2020 Democratic National Convention will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, The Associated Press reported on Monday. This was one of three finalists for the location along with Houston and Miami, though some top Democrats were reportedly worried Milwaukee would be a poor choice because of the city's size and the number of upscale amenities. AP points out that this is the first Midwest city other than Chicago to be selected for the Democratic National Convention in more than a century. The last several conventions were held in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Denver, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
