德克萨斯州奥斯汀——美国前大使拉姆·伊曼纽尔从未隐瞒自己竞选白宫的可能性，但随着2028年大选的临近，民主党候选人名单上的竞争者越来越多。
AUSTIN, TX — Former U.S. Ambassador Rahm Emanuel hasn't been shy about his potential prospects for the White House, but as 2028 approaches, the hypothetical Democratic field continues to get more crowded.
在德克萨斯论坛节期间接受福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）采访时，伊曼纽尔指出了自己与其他候选人的三大优势（前提是他决定参选）：“坦诚、真实以及领导力。”
In an interview with Fox News Digital at the Texas Tribune Festival, Emanuel pointed to three things that separate him from the pack — if he chooses to run. "Candor, authenticity and strength," Emanuel told Fox News Digital.
在接受采访时，伊曼纽尔与一位纽约记者发生了争执——该记者质疑他为何没有在竞选中强调与性别平等相关的问题。伊曼纽尔的履历十分丰富：他曾担任比尔·克林顿和巴拉克·奥巴马总统的首席顾问、美国国会议员、芝加哥市长，最近还在拜登政府期间担任美国驻日本大使。如果当选总统，他坚称“从上任第一天起就知道该做什么”。
RAHM EMANUEL SPARS WITH NEW YORKER INTERVIEWER WHO GRILLED HIM FOR NOT EMPHASIZING TRANS ISSUES Emanuel's resume in Democratic politics is quite extensive, from serving as a top advisor for Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, as a congressman, as the mayor of Chicago to more recently serving as America's top diplomat in Japan under the Biden administration. If elected president, he insists he "knows what to do on day one."
“我不会说你们想听的话，而是会告诉你们做出艰难决策所需知道的事实，”伊曼纽尔说，“我们没有时间可以浪费了。国家正处于一个关键时刻。过去12年里，我们浪费了很多时间去试图恢复那些已经无法重现的旧状态；我们应该开始为所有人共同创造一个更美好的未来。我们不能再忽视任何一个人或任何一个社区，必须做出能让这个国家变得更强大的决策。”
"I'm not gonna tell you what you'd like to hear. I'm gonna tell you what you need to know to make some of the tough decisions ahead," Emanuel said. "We don't have time anymore. We're at a tipping point in the country. I think we've wasted a lot of time in the last 12 years trying to restore, as I said, a past that's not coming back. We better think about a future that includes everybody. We don't have a person to waste or a community to overlook and make the investments that make this country stronger." "And so I'm gonna be honest about it. And I think I bring a level of experience at multiple levels of government that actually, on day one, you start getting the job done. Because we don't have a day to waste," he added.
伊曼纽尔还批评了民主党全国委员会（DNC）的运作方式，并批评了吉尔·拜登（Jill Biden）的领导能力，称民主党目前的状况“比无能还要糟糕”。尽管如此，他仍在为获得民主党提名而努力。根据RealClearPolitics的民意调查结果，他目前尚未跻身前十名候选人之列；前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯（Kamala Harris）在民主党选民中的支持率仍保持在约25%的水平，处于领先地位。
RAHM EMANUEL SLAMS DNC AUTOPSY AND JILL BIDEN, SAYING PARTY NOW LOOKS 'WORSE THAN FECKLESS' The former ambassador has a long road ahead of him to seek the Democratic nomination as the RealClearPolitics average of polls currently does not have him among the top ten contenders. Former Vice President Kamala Harris maintains a substantial lead with roughly 25% average support among Democratic voters.
加州州长加文·纽森以14%的支持率落后于哈里斯，他最近成为头条新闻，当时他宣布如果哈里斯参选，他将不会竞选总统。

哈里斯在开启中期选举拉票之旅时为2028年大选保留了可能，并警告称如果没有2026年，2028年将“毫无意义”。在与纽森相差五个百分点以内的人选中，前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格获得近13%的支持率，纽约州众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯获得近11%的支持率，佐治亚州参议员乔恩·奥索夫的支持率则约为9%。
Trailing behind Harris at 14% is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who recently made headlines when he announced he wouldn't run for president if Harris entered the race. HARRIS KEEPS 2028 DOOR OPEN AS SHE HITS MIDTERM CAMPAIGN TRAIL, WARNS ‘28 WON’T MATTER’ WITHOUT 2026 Within a five-point margin of Newsom are former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at nearly 13% support, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with nearly 11% and Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff at roughly 9%.
