Former Attorney General Eric Holder says a shock loss in Wisconsin earlier this month should be “a wake-up call” for Democrats
that the Midwest hasn’t abandoned President Donald Trump’s GOP despite the midterm election results — and that the party needs to refocus on redistricting or risk crippling the next Democratic administration.
"This is something that candidates need to talk about, out of concern that if you win and you got a gerrymandered House of Representatives — we've seen that picture before," Holder said in an interview with POLITICO. “We've seen what that looks like: a progressive trying to deal with a gerrymandered House and a Republican Senate. So they need to engage more."
In 2019, the NDRC is focusing its efforts on Kentucky and Louisiana, where there are gubernatorial elections, and Virginia, where Democrats could flip both state legislative chambers. "Virginia's future for the next ten years is on the ballot this November," McAuliffe said. "So this is a clarion call, that's why I'm doing what I'm doing in Virginia."
