Rahm Emanuel, in his most public comments to date around 2028, is confirming that he is considering a career for the next Democratic presidential nomination.
The former mayor of Chicago, the White House Cabinet Chief in the administration of former President Barack Obama, and the former Illinois congressman said this week in an interview with the Crain business in Chicago that “I am looking at the field (democratic) and, most importantly, what I have to contribute.”
“I've been there,” Emanuel added in an interview on Thursday in CNN. “I have something that I think I can offer. But I have not made that decision.”
Emanuel, who served as ambassador of the United States in Japan in the last four years during the administration of former President Joe Biden, said that “if he said it was not, it would not be true. If he said he had decided that it would not be true either.”

Emanuel, who worked as a policy advisor in the 1990s in the administration of then President Bill Clinton and then directed the capture of the majority of the House of Representatives in the 2006 elections in the 2006 elections, has been seen for months as a possible contender for what is likely to be a 2028 Democratic presidential nomination career and crowded with 2028.

And since he returned from Japan at the end of the Biden Administration, Emanuel has been offering abrasing evaluations of the Democratic Party, following the impressive setbacks last November when the party lost control of the White House, the Senate, and failed to recover most of the PCO Chamber.
Emanuel described the brand of the “toxic” and “weak and woke up” Democratic Party in a profile piece last month at the Wall Street Journal.
“If you want the country to give you the car keys, someone has to articulate an agenda that fights for the United States, not only fighting Trump,” he told The Wall Street Journal.
Emanuel warns that the Democrats have become the 'punk' party
In his interview with Crain's, Emanuel urged Democrats to return to “cooking table problems … We have to go back to how we won. Centers on the economy and the values of the middle class.”
But the moderate Emanuel has earned the anger of the progressive wing of the party. He was very criticized by many of the left more than a decade ago for his handling, as mayor of Chicago, of the police murder of Laquan McDonald, who caught national attention.

And the progressives, including representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York, in 2021, tried to block the confirmation of the Emanuel embassy for the accusations of long data that he tried to cover up the McDonald shooting.
