CHICAGO (WLS) -- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Tuesday morning he's not running for reelection.
Emanuel made the announcement at a City Hall press conference that he will not seek reelection at the end of his term. The mayoral election will take place on Feb. 26, 2019.
"Today, the time has come to make another tough choice. As much as I love this job, and will always love this city and its residents, I've decided not to seek reelection," he said.

They tried that once.
makes sense, thx

I’m still wondering if Rahm paid his Illinois taxes due when the judge declared he was eligible to run for mayor because he could live in DC and Chicago at the same time -
Look at all the murder and horror he's brought to Chicago. Rahm could do the same for the United States. Liberals would be happy if all of us in flyover started killing ourselves again. Our deaths and despair would make liberal ‘elites’ feel even more superior. The deep state would be dancing on our graves...
Think of it - the whole country as crappy a hellhole as Chicago... a true liberal wet dream.
