Rahm Emanuel says Democratic Party’s brand is ‘weak and woke’ as he weighs 2028 run


Former Obama-era White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is offering advice to the Democratic Party as he reportedly considers a 2028 presidential run: move away from focusing on cultural issues if the party hopes to win future elections.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on Monday, the former Chicago mayor and Illinois congressman called his party’s brand “toxic” as well as “weak and woke.”

“I’m tired of sitting in the back seat when somebody’s gunning it at 90 miles an hour for a cliff,” he said. “If you want the country to give you the keys to the car, somebody’s got to be articulating an agenda that’s fighting for America, not just fighting Trump.”
