Over the last twelve months he took questions in a New Hampshire town hall, a South Carolina coffee shop, a Mississippi town of 3,500, a Wisconsin technical college and a packed hall at an HBCU. He rode a bike across New Hampshire. He shook hands at a barbecue joint in Charleston, where a diner looked up and asked, "Are you who I think you are?" Rahm stood up, shook the man's hand, and asked about his work and his family.

Brandon Johnson tried to bury Rahm Emanuel. He ended up making the case for him.

Johnson attacked Rahm for making hard choices. But Chicago remembers what happened under Rahm: budgets tightened, jobs grew, tourism hit records, schools improved, and the city moved.

That is the real contrast. Rahm made the hard call and took the heat. Johnson gives the speech, dodges the choice, and blames somebody else.

Rahm’s right: 75 and out for every branch. Democrats have nearly twice as many 75+ members as Republicans—and after the Biden-era decline, that’s a weakness. This is governance, not ageism: renew leadership and get Washington moving.

Rahm Emanuel likes Carl Sandburg’s “Chicago,” which makes sense, because if that poem ever got up, put on a suit, and started swearing at people to get things done, it would look a lot like Rahm.

Last weekend, 400 Iowa Democrats showed up in Des Moines expecting fried catfish and maybe a pep talk. Instead, they got Rahm Emanuel with a verbal sledgehammer. The man didn’t just work the room—he gutted it, filleted it, and served it back with lemon wedges.

At a time when the state of affairs and opportunities for the younger generations of our society is of great concern, Rahm weighed in with a Washington Post Op-Ed advocating for a Universal National Service program. (provided as a gift article by our PAC)

We’ve done the research on what Rahm has said publicly so far in 2025 regarding his emerging positions on various issues. It is far too early to say for sure what a Rahm 2028 platform might look like but he is certainly active talking about issues that are relevant to American people in a much more direct way than any other Democratic Party potential contenders.

So many people have contacted us offered encouragement and support. But some Democrats have sent messages of anger. We regretfully engaged a few times and publish one thread to show the war going on for the soul of party.
