"It's going to be in my District. He's going to a restaurant there called the Tavern. But he is gonna take the chopper to the VA Property. I applaud that – that means getting there will be easier than it could have been," Rosendahl said.
"We've made it very clear to the White House that their voters here are not just donors and we all care about our own lives as well as his life and so gridlock is one of our biggest problems on the Westside. They are showing sensitivity," he added.
