Barack Obama is preparing for his return to politics and public life, according to his onetime attorney general, Eric Holder. “It’s coming. He’s coming,” former attorney general Eric Holder said to a group of reporters at a briefing. "And he's ready to roll." Holder said he was talking with Obama about how to advance the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), an organization advocating for reorganization of congressional and state legislative lines. The former attorney general also predicted Republicans would lose state legislative seats in 2018's midterm elections since they control the White House.
