"This week, live from Chicago to celebrate 20 years of the Political Gabfest, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss the Trump vs. Chicago showdown and the dynamics between progressive and centrist Democrats with former Chicago Mayor and Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, what threat President Trump poses to the future of American elections and how to push back, and memorable moments from Gabfest history."
"John McCormick for The Wall Street Journal: Rahm Emanuel, Weighing Presidential Bid, Navigates a Democratic Party Moving Left Barton Swaim for The Wall Street Journal (Opinion): Will the Democrats Go Centrist in the 2028 Election? Rahm Emanuel for The Wall Street Journal (Opinion): Democrats Need an Education Reset Michael Warren for The Dispatch: Is There a Future for Pragmatism in the Democratic Party? CNN: Rahm Emanuel Laughs at NYT advice, says moderation has always been the key to winning elections"
Rahm Emanuel emphasizes moderation and pragmatic strategy as the path for Democratic victories, urging an education reset and skepticism toward leftward shifts. The Democratic Party remains divided between progressive and centrist approaches, with debate focused on electability versus policy ambition. President Trump presents multiple risks to electoral integrity, including public musings about a third term, efforts to subvert midterms, and a gerrymandering arms race. Countermeasures include litigation, redistricting reform, ballot measures such as California's Prop 50, and political mobilization to defend voting rights and democratic norms.
