Democrats are furious with White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s decision to publicly leave the party and announce she’s a political independent while promoting a book.

Democrats are increasingly frustrated by their party’s approach to luring back men who supported President Trump in November’s election.

While Democrats search for a new party leader, one old name keeps coming up in conversation: Rahm Emanuel. The Democrat has been an investment banker, congressman, White House chief of staff, Chicago mayor, and U.S. ambassador to Japan, and now he’s been thinking about adding another title to his long resume: president. There’s just one problem: “As well-known as he is, people don’t really know him,” said former Rep. Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), who is in touch with his former House colleague.

Democrats outraised and outspent President Trump in 2024, underscoring how money wasn’t the party’s biggest problem in its loss of power last year, according to several strategists, big-dollar donors and aides who spoke to The Hill.
