Emanuel to Depart White House for Chicago Mayoral Bid
President Obama will give his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, a
send-off at the White House on Friday as Mr. Emanuel
officially announces his departure from the West Wing to run
for mayor of Chicago, officials familiar with the decision
said.
The event will take place in the Rose Garden, weather
permitting, and is tentatively scheduled for late morning,
said the officials, who declined to be named in advance of an
official announcement.
Mr. Obama plans to name Pete Rouse, a senior adviser, to
replace Mr. Emanuel, two officials confirmed. Mr. Rouse has
been at Mr. Obama's side since the moment he arrived in
Washington nearly six years ago, serving as his chief of
staff in his United States Senate office.
