U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel is considering entering the race to be chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), a report said Friday, in the wake of the Democrats' thumping in the Nov. 5 election.
Emanuel, a fiery former White House chief of staff and Chicago mayor, is eyeing the post, Axios reported, citing three people with knowledge of the matter, as the Democratic Party attempts to pick up the pieces after an election in which Donald Trump was elected president and Republicans won control of the Senate and the House.
Following the Nov. 5 election, current DNC chair Jaime Harrison is not expected to return to the post.
