Eric Holder will not run for president in 2020
2019-03-04
[Washington Examiner] Former Attorney General Eric Holder, a confidante of former President Barack Obama and a figure of scorn among congressional Republicans, will not run for president in 2020.

Holder said in a Washington Post op-ed Monday morning that he will instead continue his work, with Obama, on an anti-gerrymandering effort aimed at making districts for the House more competitive, ahead of fast-approaching post-2020 rounds of political line-drawing.

Holder would have faced a crowded field in the Democratic scrum, including a swath of high-profile senators, governors, former Cabinet officials, and others ‐ a fact Holder tacitly acknowledged in his op-ed.

#7   A Holder-Weiner ticket

Good taste (and the ghost of pappy) prevents me from making a "grasping at straws" joke.

#6   A Holder-Weiner ticket would certainly draw a lot of attention.

#2  That's right, Eric. Trump would declassify all those Fast and Furious documents that you redacted and we might learn something interesting.
