"I will do everything I can to ensure that the next Democratic president is not hobbled by a House of Representatives pulled to the extremes by members from gerrymandered districts," he added.Holder, who served as the head of the Justice Department from 2009 to 2015, was thought to be considering joining the crowded field of 2020 Democratic candidates aiming to take on President Donald Trump.This story is breaking and will be updated.

FastAndFurious EricHolder

Aren't you the expert on gerrymandering? Is that Jerry of Gerry or both?

...America rejoices

He's out of prison? Didn't he go to prison? Shouldn't he be in prison?

Crap one less crook on the Dem ticket. How we going to get back to the Obama years?

Obama’s wingman. Couldn’t get elected dog catcher

🙄

Trump will win next election by a landslide! He's done more good for the American people in 2.1/2 years than obummer did in 8! Of course holder wont run, after Fast and furious he should be running from charges! TRUMP is MAGA

Good, cause I’d never vote for him!

Oh, come on, Eric. PLEASE run! This dem clown car always has room for another loonie. The parade is just beginning and what a ride through crazy town it will be!!

My sources tell me he is under investigation.

Eh good idea as Trump could potentially reopen all the information hidden by Obama to protect 'his wingman' with executive privilege.

He would have legitimately been able to take on trump

LCNM99 Thank you Mr. Holder. The field is just too crowded right now. Your dedication to public service is so appreciated especially with regard to gerrymandering. Honest Americans need you!

You or Colin Powell or Ms. Rice would seem like a good mix. You three have the integrity. My generation the baby boomers and there are many of us who watched the three of you in government. Never ever heard a bad thing about any of you.

AOC said today she doesn’t know Jerry Mandering, but she would like to meet him!

accountability ETHICS INTEGRITY the level of corruption by the OBAMA administration and HillaryClinton and her cronies if beyond disturbing....zero accountability for FastandFurious and Benghazi never forget! USA❤️🇺🇸📜🏛⚖️💵💰

Breaking news 😂😂😂😂 CNNSucks

Did anyone ask

Sometimes gerrymandering is extremely necessary, particularly, in the South where 'political segregation' dominates in most places.

DUH! He didn't have a chance to win because of 2 words FAST & FURIOUS! Not even a slight chance and he knows that wussy!

Hard to run for President when you will be in Prison.

Booooring...

what a surprise he’s not running. Eric is lucky, and should be on his knees thanking the lord he is not brought up on federal charges.

Fast & Furious baggage has held Eric back.

This is news?

Oh run. And get a book deal

He always looks like he's frustrated and has to explain why.

He's running, just as Corey Booker, since they all look the same according to HIllaryClinton

Who?

Who cares?

He'll continue to run guns to Mexican cartels....

When is going to get the guns back from the cartel that he gave them? Ahhh..never. CROOK!

Sure..just another political crook.

Hell I will run. At least one thing ppl can be sure i WILL do is protect our country and its ppl form EVILATWORK KAG AND I WILL NOT sell our country out for dope money like DEMDEMS

I live in a state that is approximately 60/40 Democratic yet our state representatives are more like 80/20 dems. This works both ways

Not a surprise, since I'm sure he was certain their trick Pony Mueller would turn up something. Biden will be next to nix his bid...

Fighting against gerrymandering is crucial!

there’s gotta be better causes to fight for than gerrymandering. no healthcare? Education? Homelessness? Things that matter to people?

Gun's and Drugs at the borders were big on his list because this program cost hundreds of lives and provided the cartel with open borders.

IF YOU ARE SCARED SAY YOU ARE SCARED!! TRUMP2020 KAG WWG1WGA Q

Bet he will be doing time

FAST AND FURIOUS 🤔🤔🤔

Good. He knows better. Freaking criminal.

*in red states

'I was going to run on my past experience of starting the war on police, being from the murder capital of the U.S., and Fast & Furious, but I don't want to win too hard.' -EricHolder, probably

EricHolder are you coming to Illinois where our map is so gerrymandered for Democrats, it’s unreadable? Where Republicans have been shut out due to that? Or is IL’s map ok because it guarantees a blue win in every election? I really want to know. Thanks

Mmm hmm. Let us know when old Pay For Pardons Eric shows up in California or Maryland to talk about Gerrymandering. I’m sure you’ll get right on that.

Good, there are too many people running now, they will fracture the party and the orangeasswipe will 'win' again unless he is in prison.

Hopefully he is starting in Illinois

Bravo, Sir!!!

Mooncatadams ☹️

Any news on Jussie Smollett?

Damn what a shame. One more clown would have been good to split the vote even more

Who is Gerry Mandering. Another liberal running for president? 😂

cause all the shit he did would come out lulz

One of three people who i feel could rip trump to shreds, the other two are Biden and former Gov. Devall Patrick.

Holder should be behind bars

SoBrave 🙄

Try our polls for fun! We follow back! 😊

Racist EricHolder makes way to much on Abortion to worry about future of country! Don't get Smolletted by dnc typists! MAGA = Make aoc Go Away MeToo BelieveWomen JustShutUpAndStepUp WalkAway Blexit fairfaxjustin & GovCoonMan JussieSmollettHoax adamschiff

CNN the headline should be Holder will continue to fight against the country

Lol...oh

Where's RGB?

Only smart thing he has ever done ! Holder will never be president of anything

Eric Holder, Barry Hussein O's 'wing man' is not running for president? This is a disappointment to some. All the cool kids are running. I hope his decision was not made too FAST and at a time where he was FURIOUS about something.... 😎

It should be illegal

WOW! This is a shocker! I really thought he could win..........Not really! lol

Is he still in contempt?

Good, EricHolder should have prosecuted the Banksters in 2009, but since he's from a 'White Shoe' Law firm they were all his buddies so they walked.

Give EricHolder credit, smart enough to know future indictment will force him to bow out. FastandFurious IRSTargeting Benghazi ObamaSpyGate UraniumOne HillaryEmailGate

He knew he didn't stand a chance.

He knows him and Obama would go down for fast and furious if he does.

ifb

Who the fock is this Gerry Mander. And how the hell did he make a verb of himself.

Had to look up what 'gerrymandering' meant....

Why doesn't use his preferred name. Obama's wingman.

He's going to be busy signing up illegal aliens to vote and people who passed away and teaching them how to vote early and vote often

Ruined the DOJ.

will he also continue to fight for our enemies

He doesn’t want his his past being brought up .. He belongs in prison and to this day he is still in contempt of congress

Im voting for rep. Gerry mandering.

Thanks for the warning.

That’s good news! Gerrymandering is what keeps people like James Clyburn and others in office for eons.

Glad to hear that EricHolder got the memo that BarackObama was the first and the last. Progress in understanding the ecosystem is being made!

Good decision. Fine man but would be a bit dull on the stump.

Ridiculous ridiculous

Translated: Obama FINALLY returned my call. He is not interested in endorsing me for the DNC nomination, and I obviously can’t win with my one-dimensional race-based platform if I’m not running as Obama III.

He said gerrymandering? Lmao.

Hilarious 😂

He didn't want to be embarrassed...

Wonder what we’d find out about mr holder if we investigated his Russian collusion?

EricHolder let banks and bankers off the hook. Millions are still suffering financial difficulty while bankers enjoy making even more money. LetsNotForget

One less circus act!

This is Obama's Michael Cohen

I hope Holder can still do something to fix the way Wisconsin's congressional districts have been set up. The state was gerrymandered by the Republicans so even though the Democrats have the majority of votes, Republicans win the majority of seats.

What! I can’t believe they found someone who isn’t.

Thank you for keeping up the good fight!

Afraid?

Eric Holder. Your ties to corruption and lies are epic.

The only person in America not running for president.

First AG held on contempt

Someone who won’t run for president? That is big news. Can someone explain to me what is Gerrymandering?

He knows better.
