What happened

Democrats have narrowed the list of potential host cities for their 2028 presidential convention to Boston, Denver and Philadelphia as their party looks ahead to a wide-open primary to succeed Republican President Donald Trump.

Why it matters

Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said Thursday in a statement the cities put forward "incredibly strong bids." Martin promises the August 2028 convention will be an "inspiring celebration" of his party's future nominee.

Common ground

A final decision is expected to be made later this year by party leaders.
