What does Rahm Emanuel want a Democratic Congress to do after the 2026 midterms?

Rahm Emanuel argued on All-In that Democrats should legislate rather than spend two years on impeachment. His centrepiece is a comprehensive ethics bill covering all three branches of government. He also wants tariff relief, a higher minimum wage and changes that cut health-care costs, because he believes those votes would split Republicans and unite Democrats ahead of 2028.

• The ethics bill would ban stock trading, ban prediction-market betting by the executive branch, require blind trusts above $1 million and set term limits or an age cap around 75.
• Emanuel's proposed Jared Kushner rule bars taking foreign money in office and imposes a two-year wait on foreign investment afterwards.
• Emanuel said insurance claims run to $1.5 trillion and that cutting 10%, about $150 billion, is not hard.
• Emanuel said he would not eliminate the Senate filibuster.
