The IOC delegation has already visited Sion, Switzerland and Stockholm, Sweden. They are visiting Sapporo, Japan next. Presumably, that means the USA won't be considering a bid this time around.
With the next three Olympics being held in Asia, including the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, I can't see any way Sapporo has a chance unless they're literally the only bidder.
Stockholm has previously stated that they won't be submitting a bid, yet they're still apparently involved, so who knows.
Cities have to inform the IOC by the end of March if they are planning to proceed with a bid.
