Atlanta newspaper stunned by Democrats picking Chicago for 2024 national convention: 'Say it ain't so, Joe'
'Your loss,' one Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist tells Democrats
By David Rutz | Fox NewsThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution didn't hold back after Democrats snubbed it in favor of Chicago for their 2024 national convention, declaring "Say it ain't so, Joe" in a front-page headline on Wednesday.
The AJC noted President Biden and Democrats had selected a city in "one of the most solidly Democratic states," ran a front-page column saying it was "your loss" and called it a "blow to Democrats in Georgia and across the South."
The move has raised eyebrows given Illinois is safely blue while Georgia's emergence as a swing state has been one of the most significant regional political developments in recent years. But the DNC and Biden, in part due to his close ties to billionaire Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D., opted for Chicago as a nod to cementing party control of the upper Midwest. Democratic governors in Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin were all re-elected in 2022, the AJC noted.
