Hotel assignments for 2020 DNC convention in Milwaukee could stretch to O'Hare

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

This week, state delegations will learn where they'll be housed for the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.

And while two-thirds of the delegates will be staying within a 45-minute drive of Fiserv Forum, others could be housed as far away as Rosemont, Ill., near O'Hare International Airport.

Housing arrangements for delegates mark the first big test for organizers of the event.

And make no mistake: Hotels are a big deal for the thousands of delegates and alternates who will converge on the city July 13-16 as Democrats pick their presidential nominee.

I met with Host Committee today and heard the same.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Any celebrities on tap for the final night (I'm thinking of Meryl Streep's intro of HRC after her win).

Restaurants will be packed too. I'm thinking it's a mistake to be in Milwaukee.
