Rahm Emanuel’s Quiet Power Play Reshapes the 2028 Democratic Field

Democrats are watching Rahm Emanuel, a high-profile former White House aide and Chicago mayor, who is effectively running the playbook of a presidential candidate—doing media rounds, touring swing states, and proposing policy ideas—without officially declaring a run. His provocative, centrist messaging aims to shift the party’s debate and could shape the 2028 field even if he isn’t a formal contender, prompting rivals and strategists to reassess who could emerge as the front-runner.

Newsom weaponizes Iran war to pin high gas prices on Trump

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is using the Iran-related spike in oil prices to attack Donald Trump, arguing the former president’s energy approach contributed to volatile markets as two key refineries idled and California’s pump prices rose. The administration has sought to stabilize supply through state refiners and potential imports, while Valero’s Benicia refinery faces closure risk that could be mitigated by keeping it as optional, amid legislative deadlock. White House and GOP critics push back, complicating a national narrative for Newsom as a possible 2028 candidate. The episode underscores the tension between California’s environmental/regulatory policies, domestic refinery capacity, and global oil dynamics.

California Wealth Tax Poll: Narrow Support, Major Headwinds

A POLITICO-Berkeley poll finds California voters are inclined to support a one-time 5% wealth tax on ultrawealthy residents (50% yes, 28% no; undecideds lean yes), but concerns about the tax’s effectiveness, potential out-migration, lost revenue, and middle-class tax hikes leave the measure on a knife’s edge as a costly, highly competitive campaign approaches.

California gas shock pushes state average near $5 a gallon

Gas prices in California jumped overnight to an average around $4.91 per gallon, with Bay Area areas often above $5, driven by a state “California premium” of higher taxes, climate-program fees, and a more expensive smog-formulated blend. The US average is about $3.32, and experts warn Gov. Newsom’s green agenda could push prices higher—potentially over $8—while Chevron has warned climate policies could threaten the state’s oil industry amid global oil-market volatility tied to geopolitical tensions.
