Catching up on some recent news, Pittsburgh is no longer bidding to host the 2024 Republican National Convention:

RNC members tasked with considering the finalist cities’ pitches are scheduled to visit Nashville and Milwaukee, but not Pittsburgh. The only Eastern city in the hunt was initially expected to host a reception for attendees of the RNC’s winter meeting, which is also being held this week in Salt Lake City, but declined to do so.

Several people with knowledge of the site selection plan said Pittsburgh is likely no longer being considered, and a Pennsylvania Republican official familiar with talks about the convention said Friday they had just received word that Pittsburgh “was no longer in the running for the 2024 RNC convention.”

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey told POLITICO on Thursday that he has concerns about problems that could arise from hosting the convention — a reluctance that comes as some local Democratic leaders are publicly urging the heavily Democratic city to bow out of the running for the Republican convention.

Three cities are still being considered: Salt Lake, Milwaukee and Nashville
