Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who ultimately backed President Obama in 2008 despite his close ties to the Clinton family, has no reservations for the 2016 cycle.

The former adviser to President Bill Clinton and former chief of staff to President Obama will be headlining two fundraisers in early June for Ready for Hillary, the grassroots Super PAC urging Hillary Clinton to run for president announced today.

While Emanuel has publicly said he would support Clinton if she runs, this will be his first time officially fund-raising on her behalf.

In 2008, then-Congressman Emanuel, D-Ill., embarrassingly refrained from endorsing either of his close friends, Obama or Clinton, until nearly the end of the primary, eventually backing Obama just three days before Clinton suspended her campaign.

Emanuel is much more confident about where his allegiance lies for 2016. When asked about his other friend Vice President Biden as a potential presidential candidate, Emanuel gave reasons why Clinton was his top pick.

Joes a good friend, personally. Hes obviously worthy of being considered because hes a great vice president, a great senator, has something to offer. I just indicate where I stand on that, Emanuel said in an interview with ABC News Jim Avila for the ABC-Yahoo digital video series Power Players.

Theres no doubt the vice president has been a tremendous vice president and has a great amount of experience. In this case, so does the former secretary of state, senator, and first lady, Emanuel added, referring to his support for Hillary Clinton.

Vice President Biden has previously said Hillary Clintons running would not affect his own decision to run.

For a whole host of reasons, Emanuel said he believes Clinton will win if she does run, citing demographic trends and her incredible Chicago-area work ethic.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Monica Lewinsky writes that she's concerned a second Hillary Clinton bid for the White House would thrust her back into the spotlight.

"When I hear of Hillary's prospective candidacy, I cannot help but fear the next wave of paparazzi," she said in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair.

"Like many Americans, I've been thinking about Hillary Clinton. What might happen, I've wondered, if she does run in 2016. And what if she wins -- and then wins a second term?" she said.

"But when I think about these matters, there's a dimension at play for me other than just the fact that we might finally have a women in the White House," said Lewinsky.

'Burn the beret...'

Her comments were taken from the full article that's due out on Thursday. It's the first time she's written about her affair with Bill Clinton, who was impeached over the resulting scandal. The Senate acquitted him of all charges.

In excerpts released on Tuesday, Lewinsky, now 40, said the sexual relationship with Clinton while working as an intern in the mid-1990s was consensual and it was time to move on.

"It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," she wrote, noting that she "deeply" regretted what occurred.

"Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position," Lewinsky wrote.

Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton share the title of the most admired first lady of the past 25 years, with current first lady Michelle Obama in a close third, according to the most recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

With Mother's Day approaching, 27 percent of respondents picked Barbara Bush as the most admired first lady, an equal percentage chose Hillary Clinton, and 24 percent selected Michelle Obama. Former first lady Laura Bush was fourth at 17 percent.

But there are striking splits among different subgroups.

First lady Michelle Obama poses with former first ladies Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Bush and Rosalynn Carter as they attend the dedication ceremony for the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, April 25, 2013.

Democrats narrowly prefer Michelle Obama over Hillary Clinton, 42 percent to 39 percent. Republicans prefer Barbara Bush over Laura Bush, 45 percent to 36 percent. And independents admire Barbara Bush (28 percent) and Clinton (27 percent) the most.

Among African-Americans, its Michelle Obama at 58 percent and Hillary Clinton at 30 percent. Among Latinos, its Clinton at 45 percent and Obama at 29 percent. And among whites, its Barbara Bush (33 percent), Clinton (24 percent), Laura Bush (21 percent), and Obama (18 percent).

The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted April 23-27 among 1,000 adults (including 300 cell phone-only respondents), and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points.
