Bidding process

On January 7, 2022, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee said that four potential host cities have been selected for the 2024 convention: Milwaukee, Nashville, Pittsburgh and Salt Lake City.[1] Milwaukee was the host city for the 2020 Democratic National Convention, whose events had largely been held virtually and outside of Milwaukee due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Milwaukee and Pittsburgh are both located in key swing states (Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, respectively) that have determined the winner of the Electoral College in recent elections, while Nashville and Salt Lake City are both the respective state capitals of Tennessee and Utah, which have been reliably Republican states throughout most of the previous half-century (even though the capital cities themselves are considered Democratic strongholds within their states).

Houston had previously taken steps towards bidding.[3] Kansas City, Missouri had previously had plans to submit a bid.[4] Other locations that had, at one point, had an interest in hosting included Columbus,[5] Las Vegas,[6] and the state of Georgia.[7]
