David Axelrod is pushing for U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel to become the new chair of the Democratic National Committee, The Hill reports.
Said Axelrod: “He is the most skillful, political kind of infighter in the Democratic Party… He’s been a member of Congress, he’s been White House chief of staff, he’s been the mayor of Chicago.
Now, he’s been ambassador to Japan, and he ran, in 2005 and 2006, the campaign to take back the House.”
