SHARE Rahm stumping in Florida for Obama: headliner on “This Week”

WASHINGTON–Mayor Rahm Emanuel hits battleground Florida over the weekend, stumping in Tampa and St. Petersburg on Saturday and near Boca Raton on Sunday. Emanuel is a headliner on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, hosted by his pal, George Stephanopoulos, where he will duel Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio.

The third and final presidential debate is Monday night in Boca Raton. I’m told Emanuel will not be sticking around for the debate.
