The mid-west may win out:

Our sources tell us MILWAUKEE is the odds-on favorite for the 2020 Democratic National Convention….
— PLUSES FOR MILWAUKEE: DNC CHAIR TOM PEREZ has a personal connection to the city. His wife went to high school there and is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The two were also married in Milwaukee.
— THERE’S ALSO THE POLITICAL FACTOR: Democrats need to win Wisconsin in 2020. The city has a new arena that has a lot of open space around it that could add some flexibility for planning and events.
— NEGATIVES FOR MILWAUKEE: There’s always concern about fundraising and having enough hotels when party committees look to second-tier cities.

It will be interesting to see how far delegates or the media have to travel from far-flung hotels if Milwaukee is chosen. A decision is expected later this month.
