Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a recent interview that she believes former Chicago mayor and U.S. ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel will run for president in 2028.
Pelosi was asked by The Free Press whether Emanuel, a longtime Democratic operative who served as former President Obama’s chief of staff, will launch a bid for the White House.
“I think so,” Pelosi responded.
During the interview, published on Friday, Emanuel seemingly left the door open to launch a bid when asked about his 2028 plans — but did not directly address it.
“Before I make a decision, I want to know that I have an answer to what I think ails our country, ails our politics, and ails the party—and they may all be the same answer,” Emanuel said.
Later, he told the outlet that “I know what I want to do. We’ve got to get ready to fight for America—and that’s what I’m going to do.”
Emanuel has stoked speculation in recent months about an Oval Office run, making constant appearances in the media and being outspoken about the direction of the Democratic Party following a series of losses in the 2024 election cycle.
He indicated during the sit-down with The Free Press that he still has strong political ambitions.
“I’m not done with public service,” Emanuel said. “I’m hoping it’s not done with me.”
Former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), who worked with Emanuel during their time at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said the former two-term Chicago mayor possesses “world-class experience."
He noted that that Democrats “need a candidate who can formulate a proactive agenda. We can’t be limited to, ‘I’m not Trump.’”
Israel told The Hill late last month that Pelosi and Emanuel "figured out the strategy that won red districts and got the base out in blue and purple districts at the same time."
“So, he’s done that. He’s proven his ability to unite Democrats," he added.
