The article I read was about the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Philadelphia will be hosting the Democratic National Convention in 2016. The two other cities that really wanted the convention to be held there was New York and Columbus, Ohio. The Republican party said there convention for 2016 will be held in Cleveland. The last time Philadelphia hosted a National Presidential Convention was in 2000 for the Republican candidate George W. Bush. This event should cost Philadelphia 60 million dollars, but the payout can be triple that. Debbie Wasserman Schults said that last year they got 150 to 200 million dollars back for the city.
We have been learning a little bit about politics and political parties this week. So I think that we will be learning about the Republican and Democratic National Convention in a few days. We will also learn about the impact of what the National Convention does for the cities it is held in.
