In August, Chicago will play a key role in President Joe Biden’s reelection bid as he’s set to accept the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination in the populous Midwestern city.
Given its strong Democratic tilt, Biden is basically assured of winning Cook County — which includes Chicago and many of its suburbs — by an overwhelming margin this November.
Still, in swing-state cities like Atlanta, Detroit, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Phoenix, the vote margins that come out of these Democratic strongholds will be critical for Biden.
And the low primary turnout in Chicago could be an indicator of looming issues that the Biden campaign will have to address in other cities to emerge victorious in November, according to top Democratic pollster Celinda Lake.
I think they just weren’t turned on for this election, but it’s a warning sign to other places," she told The Chicago Sun-Times’ Tina Sfondeles.
Lake also stressed the role that cities have played in generating the sort of turnout that Democrats generally need to overcome the GOP’s rural edge in states like Georgia and Pennsylvania.
