CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago leaders want the city to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention, and have created a slick new video to win over the committee.

Rapper, actor, and Chicago native Common voiced the video, calling Chicago, “the heartland of democracy.”

Chicago last hosted the convention in 1996.

Seven other cities also are under consideration.

All formal proposals must be submitted to the Democratic National Committee by May 27.
