Firing Line with Margaret Hoover

.@hasanthehun helped elect progressives. @RahmEmanuel still wants democratic socialists outside the Democratic Party.

“You are a separate party,” the former Chicago mayor tells @MargaretHoover, arguing that Democrats risk alienating the voters who delivered their midterm landslide.

Emanuel also condemns Piker's past remark that America deserved 9/11, despite Piker's subsequent apology.

“Being more associated with the extremity doesn't help you rebrand the party.”

Democrats won Congress. Now comes the hard part: governing.

Former Obama White House chief of staff and potential 2028 presidential contender @RahmEmanuel tells @MargaretHoover why the midterm landslide gives Democrats a chance to earn voters' trust.

“How do you turn an electoral coalition into a governing coalition? Very quickly, you’ve got to deliver change, palpable change.”

From confronting Trump to challenging his own party, Emanuel lays out his agenda for Democrats—and discusses his presidential ambitions.

Rahm Emanuel is thinking about 2028—and he's doing his homework.

“If you're thinking about being in the Oval Office, it's only 200 feet from the Situation Room. You better have an idea of what you're going to do around the world.”

Former Chicago Mayor @RahmEmanuel tells @MargaretHoover why he's traveling the country, outlining foreign policy—and preparing to unveil his economic vision later this month.

When pressed on his presidential ambitions, he jokes: “Well, right now I'm not thinking about it at all in front of you, but when I get off this, I'll tell you that.”

Democrats rode a blue tsunami to victory. But have they won over voters? Rahm Emanuel says not yet.

“This was a repudiation, not a vindication.”

Former Chicago Mayor @RahmEmanuel tells @MargaretHoover that “what we do in 2027 will determine whether we have won.”

His prescription: Deliver results—and fast—or risk squandering a historic opportunity.
