Closing Bell: Brooklyn Could Host the Next Democratic National Convention

Brooklyn could be the location for the next Democratic National Convention, in 2016. Mayor Bill de Blasio has submitted an official bid to hold it at Barclays Center, the Times reported.

New York was one of 15 cities asked to submit bids to host the convention, including Phoenix, Miami, Pittsburgh and Cleveland. A shift from Madison Square Garden, where Bill Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination in 1992, to Barclays “would be freighted with symbolism,” said the Times.
