New York Times: “As Mr. Emanuel, the longtime Democratic insider, not so quietly explores a run for president in 2028, he has emerged as a behind-the-scenes force in his party’s push to flip the House this fall.”
”He has made calls to recruit candidates, traveled for events in swing districts, offered private guidance to candidates on campaign ads, events and messaging. He has rolled out alliterative slogans — ‘greed, grievance and grandeur’ is his latest about President Trump — and policy proposals alike. And he speaks regularly with Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the minority leader, serving as an informal sounding board for the potential next speaker.”
