The Associated Press says Rahm is splitting tomorrow.
CHICAGO — Two people close to Rahm Emanuel said Thursday he will resign as White House chief of staff on Friday, and will begin his campaign for Chicago mayor by meeting with voters in the city on Monday.
The two people familiar with his plans, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt Emanuel’s announcement, said he will return to Chicago over the weekend and begin touring neighborhoods on Monday.
“He intends to run for mayor,” one of the people told The Associated Press.
MSNBC reports that Pete Rouse will replace him as chief of staff, most likely on an interim basis.
Since Pete Rouse is not the devil, it is unclear who will now take the blame for everything that progressives don’t like.
