Obama To Hold Off Announcing Location For Presidential Library Until After Chicago’s Mayoral Race

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will hold off on announcing the location for his future presidential library until after Chicago’s runoff election for mayor, two people familiar with the decision said, in a bid to avoid politicizing his legacy project.
