div > div.group > p:first-child"> Holder, who was President Barack Obama's first attorney general, said that he will instead continue his work to end gerrymandering, the practice of tweaking legislative boundary lines for a political advantage.
"Though I will not run for president in 2020, I will continue to fight for the future of our country through the National Democratic Redistricting Committee and its affiliates," Holder wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post. "Our fight to end gerrymandering is about electing leaders who actually work for the interests of the people they are supposed to represent. 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," Holder said.
The announcement puts an end to months of speculation that Holder would add his name to the already-crowded field of would-be challengers to President Donald Trump. Holder did not endorse anyone on the current roster of Democratic contenders. He did, however, praise the overall field:"with the depth and diversity of the current field of candidates , we will have a host of good options."This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Trump's former acting attorney general: 'Have we lost our ability to be shocked?'Sally Yates, the former acting attorney general who was fired by Trump in 2017, accused the president on Friday of 'cavalierly lying' about instructing John Kelly to give Jared Kushner a top-secret security clearance She was fired for good reason...she should be working at Burger King. All he does is cavalierly lie about everything except his love of authoritarian dictatorship and his desire to remain in the Presidency for life. Yates is an Obamanoid hack and hardly a credibile source.
