He’s not officially running. He’s just biking 113 miles through New Hampshire, meeting voters, holding town halls, and explaining precisely what is wrong with American politics. If that sounds like a campaign, that is because it is starting to look exactly like one.
Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is continuing to fuel speculation about a possible run for president after completing a weekend bike ride across New Hampshire. Emanuel rode 113 miles across the Granite State in what he dubbed his “Spin Free” tour, an effort he said was partly meant to raise money to buy bikes for children.
What Voters Told Him Along the Route
“You hear the same constant refrain about this kind of sense of the middle-class squeeze,” Emanuel said on CNN. “The world you and I grew up under, the world that we hope our kids grow up under, it’s changing dramatically. Everybody has lost the plot, not just Democrats.”
The Biden Bombshell That Broke Through
Emanuel sat down with Katie Couric, where he diagnosed his party’s issues in a single sentence. “Because we EARNED their disrespect, the hard way,” he said. “We did things that were really ridiculous. We let a border get out of control, we talked about defunding the police, we called them Latinx, and nobody in that group ever identified themselves that way.”
His Trump Contrast Message
“We have a president of the United States worrying about redistricting. China is off doing research. He’s arguing about his ballroom. They are building ballistic missiles. He’s building an arch to himself, and families cannot afford a meal at the Golden Arches,” Emanuel said, drawing his starkest contrast yet with President Trump.
