Rahm Emanuel On Potential 2028 WH Run: ‘I Have Something I Think I Can Offer’

Rahm Emanuel has confirmed he is considering a run for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. Speaking to Crain’s Chicago Business and CNN, the former Chicago mayor and White House chief of staff under President Obama said, “I’m looking at the [Democratic] field, and most importantly, what I have to contribute.” While he hasn’t made a final decision, Emanuel acknowledged that it would be untrue to say he isn’t contemplating a run.

Emanuel recently returned from serving as U.S. ambassador to Japan during the Biden administration. Since his return, he has re-entered the political spotlight with sharp critiques of the Democratic Party’s recent performance. Following the party’s 2024 losses of the White House, Senate, and failure to reclaim the House, Emanuel has called for a reassessment of Democratic messaging and strategy.

His political experience spans decades, including roles in the Clinton White House, Congress, and leadership during the Democrats’ 2006 House takeover. Known for his aggressive political style and strategic acumen, Emanuel is seen by some as a strong potential contender who could energize the party’s more centrist and pragmatic base.

Meanwhile, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is also gaining attention as a possible 2028 candidate. He recently ruled out a run for Michigan’s open Senate or governor’s races but has remained visible through media appearances and political outreach. Buttigieg emphasized his commitment to engaging voters and fostering a forward-looking Democratic vision, though he has not made any formal political plans.

Buttigieg, often praised for his communication skills—most notably by New York Times columnist Ezra Klein—has said he is focused on building a message that resonates across party lines. While not running in 2026, he remains dedicated to shaping the party’s future. Together, Emanuel and Buttigieg represent two prominent figures likely to play significant roles in the lead-up to the 2028 Democratic primaries.
