Focus on Ethics Reform

Rahm Emanuel Urges Democrats Not to Impeach Trump if They Win the House

Former Chicago Mayor and White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, has urged his fellow Democrats not to attempt to impeach President Donald Trump if they win control of the House of Representatives. Instead, he suggested that they should focus on ethics reform. This comes as Democrats hold a significant advantage over Republicans in the upcoming midterms. In the House, Democrats are projected to win 215 seats compared to 201 for the GOP. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has declined to support impeachment proceedings against Trump, though appears to suggest it would not be a top priority. Emanuel, who served two terms as mayor of Chicago and then served as chief of Staff for former President Barack Obama, is reportedly eyeing a 2028 presidential run.
