Rahm Emanuel says Democrats must ‘prove we can bring change’ amid ‘brand problem’: Full interview

Published

And I believe the future of the party is a broad coalition that tells the independent voters and Democrats we're aligned, we're against corruption, we're for raising the minimum wage. We don't believe in taking a gift of $450 million plane from Qatar, the Qataris, and you paying $4.50 for gas. That is what Democrats are opposed, and we're going to change that. So let me press you on just how big you think the tent should be, because Senator John Fetterman, as you know, angered many Democrats by repeatedly breaking with his party. (10:28–10:38)
