"CNN reports that three Democratic sources close to Rahm Emanuel say the White House chief of staff informed senior colleagues he is all but certain to run for mayor of Chicago.
According to sources, a campaign team is already in the making.
Emanuel is expected to announce his decision on Friday.
One of the sources told CNN, ""We see nothing that will stop a run. But you don't announce a campaign for mayor of Chicago in Washington, D.C. You leave and go home and finish your business there.""
Sources also claim that longtime Obama adviser Pete Rouse is expected to be tapped as interim chief of staff."
