Rahm Emanuel: The Fighter America Needs to Restore Sanity and Strength
America stands at a critical crossroads. In an era dominated by misinformation, division, and political extremism, Rahm Emanuel emerges as the clear voice of the sensible majority—an experienced leader uniquely suited for our challenging times. Rahm is known for his no-nonsense pragmatism and unwavering determination, representing the kind of centrist Democrat America desperately needs. You cannot govern if you can’t win - and Rahm is a proven winner.
Rahm Emanuel has spent his entire career fighting for practical solutions over partisan battles. He understands that the real power lies with the American electorate’s sensible majority—voters who are exhausted by political theatrics and crave substantive progress. Rahm Emanuel speaks directly to these voters, articulating their values clearly, unapologetically, and without compromise.
In an age when misinformation has corroded public trust and the aggressive, no-holds-barred political cult surrounding Donald Trump threatens democracy itself, America requires a fighter. Rahm Emanuel has demonstrated repeatedly his willingness to combat false narratives head-on, cut through distractions, and relentlessly focus on what matters most: impactful solutions for the common good for the majority of American citizens.
Rahm Emanuel is uniquely equipped to restore normalcy and credibility to our politics. His service as Ambassador to Japan, Mayor of Chicago, Chief of Staff to President Obama, and US Congressman has prepared him to rebuild effective governance. He can restore America's standing on the world stage, reassure international allies, and project strength rooted in stability, respect, and integrity. A Midwest raised fighter forged from the upbringing of immigrant parents, he is Chicago tough and will never yield to adversaries both domestic and internationally.
Rahm Emanuel is the right candidate for this moment. America deserves a fighter who can champion truth, pragmatism, and unity. Join us in drafting Rahm for 2028!
Rahm in the media
After a very successful posting as the 31st United States Ambassador to Japan, in 2025 Rahm returned home to Chicago and is making waves with recent media appearances, citing a desire to return to public service. Let’s get him to put his hat in the ring!
“He has a brawling reputation because he’s willing to take on the hardest battles: big banks, gun manufacturers, insurance companies. Going toe to toe, even with nine and a half fingers.”
“Affordable healthcare, lifetime retirement security and affordable community college are as American as apple pie, but they won’t be realized by consulting the Democratic Socialists of America’s playbook.”
“Democrats can’t be the party that believes in equity as a core principle while simultaneously being complacent about math scores still languishing below pre-pandemic levels and reading scores hitting their lowest in more than 30 years.”
“You have to be right with the American people and you have to be right with not just their tolerance but not let that tolerance become permissiveness ”
“Who has more relevant experience? He understands how to win and speaks bluntly in an idiom that most folks understand.”
“I am done with the discussion of locker rooms, I am done with the discussion of bathrooms and we better start having a conversation about the classroom”
“What happened in 2024 is informative about understanding not just the anger, legitimate parts of why people are angry. They have a right to be angry. Rather than being given a shot, they were given the shaft. And Washington and the people that make it up, let them down.”
“I’m tired of sitting in the back seat when somebody’s gunning it at 90 miles an hour for a cliff. If you want the country to give you the keys to the car, somebody’s got to be articulating an agenda that’s fighting for America, not just fighting Trump”

Great interview with Frum on his first podcast. I have been following Rahm Emmanuel on various outlets for the last few months and like the idea of a run in 2028.
Doris from OH

I've voted Republican for many years. But I would vote for Rahm. The Democratic party needs someone who will stand up to the left wing. Just common sense reforms like Rahm's requirement that Chicago high school seniors have a post-graduation plan. Count me as a supporter.
Alan from NJ

Very much in Rahm Emanuel's corner. Eager to hear him on current issues. Believe he has the skills and personal ballast to be national leader, including president. Hoping to hear more. Thanks.
Michael from NY

Keenly interested in seeing Rahm Emanuel run for president in 2028. OK, sure, if he wants to run for governor of Illinois---or, heck, Mayor of Chicago--I'd back him. But hoping he has his eye on 1600..
Michael from Chicago

I'm willing to do just about anything in Florida to get the movement going.
John from FL

I’m excited that Rahm is considering a run. I’m excited to volunteer.
Jim from CA

Been wanting Rahm to run since Obama left. I’m a Liberal without a party. We need a Rahm—liberal lion, populist minded—to get the Left back in a position of governing from a position of strength.
Mark from TX
-
I'll volunteer by calls, mailers, signs you are the man to lead America!
Roy from Illinois
-
I have heard Rahm on several podcasts. He's the only one I'd consider right now as a presidential candidate
Shannon from GA

Intrigued by the idea of Rahm Emanuel as President. Someone not afraid of offending the Far Left but also able to provide a detailed program for restoring the United States to a true democracy.
George from ME

I am a 77 yrs old & willing to do anything to help Rahm to run for any political office! We need to stop Trump from ruining our country!
Terry from IL
-
I'm in for you. We need a strong candidate to fight trump or his offshoots, and you're the guy to do it.
Sandy from CA

As a liberal conservative, I'm homeless in the current polarization in both parties. Rahm is the only individual who is sane, intelligent, and able to govern responsibly. Count me a a supporter. Trump is driving this country to ruin, and the current democratic party does not offer a credible alternative. I'm in.
John from CA
-
Southsider and long time Democrat activist ready to move the Democratic Party and the US forward with new bold initiatives. We can't go back...we need a new way forward and I think Rahm brings that. Let me know how I can help out here in Oregon.
Kurt from OR

I hope Rahm runs. Have seen him debate Gov Sununu on CNN and he is amazingly insightful and able to explain complex issues so that anyone with only a basic understanding can grasp the importance. I will vote for and support Rahm, and encourage my friends and family to do the same.
Doug fro VA

Rahm has the intelligence and energy necessary to refute the pathetic lies that are accepted all too easily by the uneducated. I also love that he takes no shit in negotiation.
Jeff from IL

Mr. Rahm's intellect, leadership and influence are critical as Americans struggle with the assault on our fundamental constructs; constitutional law and the separation of powers are essential to the continued success of our republic. There is a disheartening void in Democratic leadership. Mr. Rahm can provide a great service to our country.
Doug from CA
-
I am sick and tired of those at the far ends of the political Bell Curve getting the microphone when the vast majority of (80% plus) are pragmatic, open to discussion and hard working. I think that Rahm Emanuel can get us back to the center and bring respect and trust back to our leaders in DC while providing a long term vision of a better America for all.
Tom from MI

I am a Tech Entrepreneur and would love to support Rahm for President in 2028 because I believe in his no-nonsense and experienced approach to addressing critical issues of the day such as Education, Gun Control and International Relations.
Suryakala from CO

I'm a professor at Clemson University and run a successful small business. I am a strong supporter of Rahm Emanuel!
Joe from GA
-
I have been a lawyer in Naperville for almost 40 years. If Rahm runs, I would be willing to retire and be a full-time volunteer. FINISH THE DREAM! Poor people can outvote rich people all day long. I wish I knew half of what Diaper Don thinks he knows.
Rick from IL
-
I'm interested in learning more about supporting a viable centrist candidate who can present a plan that will help guide us out of the new world order that the current administration is currently creating.
Jenifer from GA
-
As a retired teacher and Democratic Party phone volunteer, I have skills encompassing communication with voters, speech writing, theater techniques, and an ornery streak. I have high hopes for Rahm's candidacy.
