WATER VALLEY, Miss. — Rahm Emanuel is coming — whether Democrats like it or not.
- "There's two wings in our party right now, and I hope to dominate one of them," Emanuel, the fiery former Chicago mayor, told Axios in Mississippi last week as he tested his potential 2028 run for president with a focus on education.
- "There's a resistance wing dominated by Gavin [Newsom]. And there's a renewal wing that will be as forceful in fighting for America as the other wing is in fighting Trump."
Why it matters: Emanuel — who was chief of staff under President Obama and a senior adviser to President Clinton — is betting that come 2028, the country and Democratic primary voters will be less focused on President Trump than the party's base is now.
