By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow March 4 at 8:03 AM After months of deliberation, former attorney general Eric Holder said Monday that he will not join the crowded and still-growing Democratic presidential field.
Holder, who served in the Obama administration and was the first African American to hold the post of attorney general, had repeatedly said that he was seriously considering a White House bid of his own. Holder traveled the country extensively as chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a group that has sought to combat gerrymandering that benefits Republicans in state and local races.“With state legislatures set to begin drawing new voting districts in 2021, what happens in those races over the next two years will shape the next decade of our politics,” he wrote.As of Friday morning, 14 other Democrats had announced White House bids of exploratory committees.
Democrats are the party of Baby murderers and High Taxes.
I will take this opportunity to announce that I also will not run for president in 2020.
Holder should be in GITMO

Good decision for Dems. Holder has his fans, to be sure, but out here in flyover country, he is a very divisive figure. That’s the last thing Dems need. Dems must win a few red states to win in 2020. Holder wouldn’t do that. And Bernie won’t either.
Whew, that's a relief. We have enough braniacs running.
Oh come on. I would love to see him exposed for the treasonous, self serving POS he truly is
He and Hillary Clinton may be indicted by election time. There is all kinds of evidence to show that the Clinton campaign worked with Russians to impact the elections
Why would you?
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!! 🙍♀️ WE NEED YOU AG HOLDER!
I’d also like to announce that I will not run for president in 2020. I don’t like crowds.
Scared of the new AG and those skeletons.
An attorney is not a good case for the presidency!
Good
A good decision since you have .01 chance of winning!
Thanks for some good news. Keep the Wall St loving useless prick away from real power. Maybe one day he‘ll pay for his inaction. Ha. Ha. It’ll never happen.
He would have wiped the floor with Trump!
The field is getting more crowded than the gop2016 at least so far we have pretty decent humans compared to the caravan of lunatics that gave us realDonaldTrump . 2020Election Bernie2020 BernieSanders2020
He wouldn't survive the scrutiny a run would bring.
No one confined to Gitmo will be running.
I guess issues vs ego won that decision
Literally no one is disappointed.
Least reported story under Holder: How consent decrees and critiques of racial bias with America’s police were entirely unfounded and built on statistical manipulation by DOJ. Homicides spiked 20% (3000 lives) from 2014 to 2016. Who is responsible?
Why announce who's not running for President. Shorter list to tell us who IS.
I guess he finally got the message that no one would vote for him. Not even his own family.
Thank you.
Nobody wanted him to run for president, he discovered
He works for PsyGroup now.
