With Kamala Harris dragging her feet forever to announce what she is going to do next, the Democrats are now pinning their hope on former chief of staff to Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, to step up and fill the vacuum in the leadership. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi already said that she is placing her bets on Rahm. Rahm is also not shying away from these insinuations and already said that he's preparing. “I am in training — I don’t know if I’ll make the Olympics,” he said a few weeks ago. After Joe Biden's prostate cancer detection, The Free Press caught up with Rahm and asked how he was doing. "I don’t have prostate cancer," he said. On his presidential bid, he said: “Before I make a decision, I want to know that I have an answer to what I think ails our country, ails our politics, and ails the party—and they may all be the same answer." Emmanuel's elder brother Zeke is an oncologist and was on air discussing Biden's cancer detection. “Oh yeah. He did not develop (prostate cancer) in the last 100 days, 200 days. He had it while he was president. He probably had it at the start of his presidency in 2021. Yes, I don’t think there’s any disagreement about that," he said on Morning Joe. Who is Rahm Emanuel? Rahm Emanuel is an American politician and diplomat born November 29, 1959, in Chicago, Illinois. A member of the Democratic Party, he has held several high-profile positions: US Ambassador to Japan (2021–2025), appointed by President Joe Biden, where he worked on strengthening US-Japan relations. From 2011 to 2019, he remained the first Jewish mayor of Chicago. Before that, he was the White House Chief of Staff (2009–2010) under President Barack Obama, helping pass the Affordable Care Act and the 2009 stimulus package. He was the representative for Illinois’s 5th District (2003–2009), serving as Democratic Caucus Chair and leading the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to a 2006 House majority. Between 1993 and 1998, he remained the senior adviser to Bill Clinton. Emanuel was raised in an Orthodox Jewish household, with his father, a pediatrician, immigrating from Israel and his mother active in the civil rights movement. He is married to Amy Rule, with three children.
