President Barack Obama is planning to deliver his farewell speech in Chicago — less than two weeks before Donald Trump takes office, Politico reports.
The address, billed as a major speech, is expected to be delivered on Jan. 10. In his address, Obama is expected to thank Chicago and the state of Illinois for launching his political career, according to the website.
Obama was a state senator and then a U.S. senator before becoming president.
The Secret Service is already scouting major venues for the speech, including McCormick Place and the United Center, Politico says.
