Biden chose Chicago’s former Mayor of Rahm Emanuel as a Japanese ambassador

Washington: President Joe Biden plans to nominate Rahm Emanuel, who previously served as chief of staff to former President Barack Obama and Mayor of Chicago, when the US Ambassador to Japan, the White House said on Friday.
White House officials praised Emanuel’s experience and public services for years.
The nominees, which can attract anger of several Democrats and black rights activists from their notes as Mayor of Chicago, were announced on the same day that the White House revealed that veteran diplomats, Nicholas Burns were picked to serve as US ambassadors.
Emanuel said he was honored to be tapped for the job.
“The alliance between the United States and Japan is a peaceful and prosperity foundation in Indo-Pacific which is free and open,” Emanuel said in a statement.
The Representative Representative of Nancy Pelosi speaker welcomed the announcement, said “Record of success and traces of Emanuel’s success” would help him when he worked to deepen one of the most important and regional US alliances.
Some critics have blamed Emanuel, 61, for their handling of racial problems as the third largest US city mayor.
Four Chicago police officers were fired in 2019 because they covered the death of a black teenager shooting, Laquan McDonald, in Chicago in 2014, a case that triggered racial tensions and triggered a call from the resignation of Emanuel for resignation.
In June, when the ambassador’s nomination which was expected to first emerge, victims and relatives of victims of police violence in Chicago issued a statement called the Biden plan “disgusting.” When Emanuel was previously considered for the work of the US Transportation Secretary, the representative of Jamaal Bowman, the US Democrats wrote a column entitled, “We cannot restore the nation’s soul with Emanuel’s Rahm in the public office.” Emanuel led the Finance Committee for President Bill Clinton’s campaign in 1992 and then served as senior adviser to Clinton on policies and strategies.
He was the Chief of Staff Obama for more than a year before resigning to conduct elections as Mayor of Chicago The White House highlighted Emanuel’s work on the Revitalization of Chicago, who hosted the NATO 2012 Summit and led the country in attracting direct investment for six consecutive years.
A White House official, spoke on anonymous requirements, expressed confidence that Emanuel would win the Senate confirmation.
He joined a long list of ambassadors nominated by Biden who awaited hearing sound and confirmation in the Senate, which was narrowly controlled by Biden Democrats.
The White House was increasingly frustrated about the slow confirmation for almost 300 Biden nominations, with many nominations held by Senator Ted Cruz and other Republican senators to register frustration on various problems.
Some Republicans can support Emanuel, who share some of the same political donors, but the nomination is likely to make a few Democrats’ anger giving “a bad trail record of racial justice and past efforts to weaken the progressive wings of the party,” Jeff Hauser said, Director of the Advocacy Group Revolving Door Project.
Emanuel might also have to win over Senator Bernie Sanders, who is not a fan.
In 2016, when Sanders ran against Biden for the Democratic president’s nomination, Senator wrote on Twitter: “I want to thank Rahm Emanuel because it doesn’t support me.
I don’t want the support of a deadly mayor and firing teachers.”
