CHICAGO — President Barack Obama plans to return to his adopted hometown for two Democratic fundraisers Wednesday night.

In a quick visit, Obama is scheduled to fly into O'Hare Airport about 5 p.m. and attend a 6:30 p.m. fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to support Democratic campaigns for the House of Representatives, at the Hilton Chicago, 720 S. Michigan Ave.

He'll then attend another House Democrats' fundraiser at a private home at 7:45 p.m. The president will be in Chicago overnight and leave Thursday morning, according to his schedule.
