Rahm Emanuel Tells WSJ Democrats Must Move to Center to Win: Party Brand Is ‘Toxic’ and ‘Weak and Woke’ Rahm Emanuel, who is reportedly considering running for president in 2028, told The Wall Street Journal that Democrats need to move to the center if they want to win again, blasting the party’s current brand as “toxic” and “weak and woke.” The 65-year-old longtime Democratic operative has worn a lot of hats — congressman, presidential advisor, White House chief of staff, mayor of Chicago, and U.S. Ambassador to Japan, and a new interview with the Journal’s John McCormick published Monday digs into what his next steps might be. McCormick noted that Emanuel “appears to be laying the groundwork for a presidential bid” but was also thinking about running for Illinois governor. That depends on what current Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) decides to do next: run for a third term or throw his own hat in the presidential primary ring. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/rahm-emanuel-tells-wsj-democrats-must-move-to-center-to-win-party-brand-is-toxic-and-weak-and-woke/
