The network walks back a report that Rep. Rahm Emanuel has agreed to be Obama's chief of staff.
"Contrary to earlier reports here on MSNBC, Congressman Rahm Emanuel has not yet accepted a job in the Obama administration. Emanuel is rumored to be Obama's pick for chief of staff."
AP: "A rejection would amount to an unlikely public snub of the new president-elect within hours of an electoral college landslide."
