House Democrats

A House Democrat has introduced 26 articles of impeachment against Donald Trump, alleging sweeping abuses of power across his second presidency. The move is largely symbolic given Republican control of the House, but it has drawn attention as a formal record of opposition grievances against the president and is fueling debate over his conduct in office.

Former Chicago mayor and ex-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is reportedly considering a bid for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. Emanuel, who recently served as ambassador to Japan, has been positioning himself as a centrist option, and observers are debating whether his brand of pragmatic politics can win over a Democratic base looking for new leadership after recent losses.
