The Democratic National Convention in Chicago is the Democratic Party’s opportunity to lay out a vision for the country over the next four (or eight) years. But the DNC will come and go and leave behind a city decimated by Democratic policies for decades, an unintentional warning of how the country could end up looking if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected.

As Democrats bring out celebrities and political elites to celebrate the party’s presidential ticket, Chicago has hit its lowest population since 1920. The city has lost population for nine years in a row and is projected to drop from the third to fourth most populous city by 2035, behind Houston.
