Rahm Emanuel Tells WSJ Democrats Must Move to Center to Win: Party Brand Is ‘Toxic’ and ‘Weak and Woke’


Rahm Emanuel, who is reportedly considering running for president in 2028, told The Wall Street Journal that Democrats need to move to the center if they want to win again, blasting the party’s current brand as “toxic” and “weak and woke.” Regardless of which direction Emanuel heads, he was frank with McCormick with his criticism of his own party, saying that Democrats needed to pivot back to the center and away from the identity politics favored by the progressive wing. “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,” said Emanuel.
