Rahm Emanuel predicted on Sunday that former President Trump would not run for reelection in 2024 and would instead begin pursuing retribution against GOP lawmakers who spoke out against him.

“[Trump] won't run, but he is going to spend the next two years on retribution," the ABC News commentator predicted during a panel discussion on ABC's "This Week."

"He is going after every Republican that either said something bad, or voted against them. And God bless him. You guys didn't want to cut him off. He made a Faustian bargain with them. And that's what's coming to the Republican Party," Emanuel, who was previously the Democratic mayor of Chicago and served as White House chief of staff in the Obama administration, said.

“In 1932, when [Franklin D. Roosevelt] won, was the last time a party — that is the Republicans — lost the presidency, the Senate and the House. That's how far back you go for this moment in time to have a corresponding point in history,” he added.
