Some vulnerable Democrats are not attending the DNC convention.
They are skipping it to focus on their own campaigns.
Several Democrats in battleground states and districts are skipping the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago in order to focus on their own campaigns, Punchbowl News reported.
Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Jon Tester, D-Mont., told Punchbowl they will attend the convention. Both are running in states that former President Donald Trump won in 2020 and is expected to win comfortably again this year.
Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., who is campaigning with Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, also said she is skipping the convention, Punchbowl reported. Nevada is considered a battleground state.
In the House, Reps. Yadira Caraveo, D-Colo., Jared Golden, D-Maine, Josh Harder, D-Calif., and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., all told Punchbowl they are skipping the convention.
Other vulnerable Democrats haven’t said yet if they would be attending.
Rep. Val Hoyle (D-Ore.), a Frontliner, also plans to stay in her district during convention week due to ongoing wildfires.
“We don’t anticipate she will attend,” Karmen Fore, Hoyle’s chief of staff, told us in an email. “[Hoyle] will be in Oregon. Wildfires are getting worse out here and working this is her priority right now.”
Other vulnerable Democrats — Reps. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), Susie Lee (D-Nev.), Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) and Susan Wild (D-Pa.) — told us their schedules aren’t yet finalized for convention week.
