During a Fox News Sunday appearance,Emanuel criticized the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA),suggesting thay should run as a separate party rather than be part of the Democrats,citing their support for policies like defunding the police,open borders,and reducing military and prison systems. His stance conflicts wiht other Democratic leaders, such as Chuck Schumer, Chris Murphy, and Chris Van Hollen, who favor a broader, more inclusive party. Emanuel\u2019s position reflects a divide within the party over ideological inclusivity and the direction of the Democratic coalition, especially as some members view the DSA as influential and worthy of inclusion, while Emanuel pushes for clearer boundaries. Emanuel&#8217;s outspoken approach is part of his broader effort to counter perceived cultural and political backlash against progressive policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former Obama adviser <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/rahm-emanuel\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"21940\">Rahm Emanuel<\/a> said that he doesn\u2019t view <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-socialism\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"7024\">socialists<\/a> as part of the Democratic Party, a rare pushback against attempts to establish a big-tent party that includes its left flank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an appearance on <em>Fox News Sunday<\/em>, Emanuel broke with the Democratic consensus over how to handle its surging Democratic Socialists of America contingent, arguing it should be locked out rather than accepted.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4705567\/rahm-emanuel-socialists-democratic-party-tent\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Rahm Emanuel shuts socialists out of Democratic tent: \u2018Run as a separate party\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4705537\/ted-cruz-2028-president-white-house-run\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Ted Cruz says \u2018there will be a time\u2019 to decide on 2028 White House run<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/4704156\/josh-hawley-2028-anti-abortion\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Anti-abortion leaders see Josh Hawley as possible 2028 force<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t consider democratic socialists part of the Democratic Party,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey believe in defunding the police, letting prisoners out of prisons, opening the borders, eliminating the Pentagon.
