Aspects of note about location
Sources should probably be found before any of this is added but, with Chicago and Milwaukee hosting the two major party conventions, this is the first time since 1952 that both major parties will hold their conventions in the Midwest, the first time since 2004 that both major parties will hold their conventions in the same region of the United States
I also believe that this is geographically the closest that the two major parties have located their conventions without actually sharing a venue. But I could be mistaken. Doubt any source will report that, though. SecretName101 (talk) 19:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Looks like this is the closest. 1872 was in Baltimore and Philly, which is farther. But given that the conventions have been in the same venue in the same year, it doesnt seem noteworthy that they are in cities 92 miles and a few weeks apart. Simon12 (talk) 02:11, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

- Another thing worth noting, this is the first city to host that is not located in an anticipated swing state since 2004, when Boston and NYC held the two conventions. SecretName101 (talk) 01:54, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
