appearance at the RNC, a move not well-received by many Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign has also sought to gain more votes from blue collar workers in critical Midwestern swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, support that O\u2019Brien seemingly entertained during his appearance last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"meta meta-lower\"><span class=\"author\">Posted by

And one of their selling points was the vast number of hotel rooms in Chicago, which means that the thousands of delegates, officials, and journalists covering the confab would be able to stay within the city limits.<\/p>\n<p>That is far from the case for many political conventions. Just last month, some delegates and journalists were housed in hotels far from downtown Milwaukee, site of the 2024 Republican National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>The abundance of hotel rooms in downtown Chicago means that there will be easy access to both of the convention&#8217;s venues &#8211; the United Center, an arena on the city&#8217;s West Side where the prime time programming will take place, and McCormick Place, which is downtown near Lake Michigan, where daytime events will occur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"meta meta-lower\"><span class=\"author\">Posted by Paul Steinhauser
