Former President Donald Trump planned to stay at a hotel in Chicago during next months Republican National Convention, but changed plans on Tuesday when his campaign was asked why he wasnt staying in the host city where he is expected to be anointed as the partys official presidential candidate.

Two people familiar with Trumps plans told an ABC station in Chicago that the former president planned to stay at a Trump hotel in the city and commute to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when thousands of delegates will convene from July 15 to 18. The New York Times confirmed those plans, but the Trump campaign later said he would, in fact, stay in Wisconsin amid questions from media outlets.

We did have solid indications he was originally planning to stay in Chicago, at least for some period of time, Brian Hopkins, a Democratic Chicago alderman and chair of the citys public safety committee, told ABC7. Campaigns change schedules all the time. The Trump campaign is like any other; they react to circumstances, they react to the optics, and I think in this case it looked pretty bad to not be staying in Wisconsin.
