(Reuters) - The Democratic Party will meet the week of July 25 next year to nominate its 2016 presidential contender, gathering one week after Republicans convene to pick their White House candidate.
Democratic Party officials said on Friday they were still in final negotiations with three cities - New York, Philadelphia and Columbus, Ohio - to host the nominating convention.
"We are still in discussions with three excellent cities and are looking forward to a diverse and inclusive convention that displays our party’s values," Democratic National Committee head Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in announcing the dates.
Republicans will hold their 2016 convention from July 18 to 21 in Cleveland, Ohio.
