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.

Big Media will be happy to quote Rahm’s intolerance and misogyny every day of the week for as long as he’d like.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (R) addresses a crowd gathered for a campaign rally for Rahm Emanuel (L), former White House Chief of Staff for U.S. President Barack Obama, on January 18, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. Emanuel is considered the front-runner in the race to replace Richard Daley as mayor of Chicago.

He’ll probably run for Senate. Watch him move to Arizona.
Means he’s gonna open his own bathhouse.
The Chicago Rats Focus Groups must be very damaging to Rahm and the ChiRats.
Wow. I am not in the city anymore, but I’m close enough that who is elected makes a difference. I knew he wasn’t popular with a lot of people, but I somehow expected him to stick it out one more time. What bothers me is, considering the current candidates, Chicago could do far worse. At least with Rahm you knew what you had. By far the best of the lot is Paul Vallas. Outside of crooked Dorothy Brown, former police superintendent Garry McCarthy, and perennial candidate Willie Wilson, the rest are community activist/DSA-type nobodies.
Whatever Rahm’s reasons were for leaving, he seemed relieved.
So he finally landed that $500K/yr job on K Street.
He’s getting out of town before he’s ridden out on a rail.
That just might be the answer.
It’s high time the Windy City had a Republican mayor, similar to Giuliani or LaGuardia. When a Democrat screws up a major city big time, a Republican can come in to clean up the mess.
.....”The boat is going down, and he doesn’t want his fingerprints anywhere near it when it does”.......
He’s wanted elsewhere.
LMAO. He has shown the world what an incompetent he is. So even he knows running again would be useless. And good. Let’s see what other idiot runs in his stead.
Because he's find it harder to find things to screw up.
Safer than trying to clamp down on mobster gang violence.
He allowed the violence and is now skipping town.
He’s totally incompetent, and he figured it out. Quite out of character for a Marxist.

Or something very bad is about to hit the fiscal fan, and Tiny Dancer’s bugging one step ahead of the posse...
