<\/br>Rahm Emanuel’s recent remark that he wants to be mayor of Chicago isn’t an affront, Mayor Richard Daley said today.
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>"Sure, everybody would like to be mayor. This is a great city," Daley said when asked to respond to Emanuel’s recent attention-grabbing comment that he’s interested in the job.
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>"It’s not stepping on my toes. Rahm’s a good friend of mine," Daley said at a news conference to welcome an international biotechnology conference to the city. "I thought it was something he should be proud of, that someday he would like to be mayor of the city of Chicago. There’s nothing wrong with that."

<\/br>Daley said he and Emanuel, a former North Side congressman who’s serving as President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, have discussed Emanuel’s future plans.
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>"Sure I talked to him, I talk to him. Sure, I know about it," Daley said.
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>But Daley said he hasn’t offered Emanuel any advice about a mayoral run. "I don’t give any advice, I don’t give people advice. I don’t advise people, I’m not an adviser."
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>Emanuel said during an interview on the "Charlie Rose Show" Monday that he would like to run for mayor once Daley steps down. Today, Daley declined to say today whether he plans to run in next year’s city election.
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>"Why, what happened?" Daley said when questioned about his future plans. "Next question."
<\/br>\u00a0
<\/br>"I’m at a press conference, I’m not here to tell you what’s going to happen in the future," Daley added, saying he does not know when he will decide if he will campaign for another term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
