Philadelphia, Boston or Denver? Democrats narrow their list of 2028 presidential convention sites
The party didn't specify why Atlanta and Chicago, which was the site of the 2024 convention, were eliminated.

The Democratic National Committee has narrowed the list of candidate host cities for the 2028 Democratic National Convention. The remaining finalists reportedly include Philadelphia, Boston, and Denver.
Both outlets report the same core development, that the DNC has narrowed its 2028 convention host city search, but they differ in detail and framing. CBS News offers a brief, general description of the search process without naming the finalist cities in the excerpt provided. PBS NewsHour provides more specificity, naming the three finalist cities and noting which cities (Atlanta and Chicago) were eliminated, while also pointing out that the party did not explain the reasoning behind those eliminations.
CBS News frames the story simply as a procedural update on the DNC's search for a 2028 convention host city, without delving into specifics of eliminated cities.
