Holder's name has been tossed in the mix for a Democratic challenge to Trump in two years. In February, he said he would likely make a decision on a run by the end of the year.
More recently he stirred speculation by visiting states like early-voting New Hampshire.
Holder was Obama's attorney general from 2009-2015. More recently, he took the reins of Obama’s group aimed at redrawing “fair” congressional district lines, the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.
According to a CNN "definitive" ranking of potential 2020 Democratic candidates released Thursday, Holder placed sixth.
Well this should be interesting, I'll be sure to follow this new development.
