Eric Holder: Texas’ Gerrymandering Is a ‘National Problem,’ ‘Partisan Hacks’ Will Be Certifying the 2028 Presidential Election

EXCERPT:

HOLDER: “This is not — yeah, well, I’m getting a little sparse up here myself. This is not a Texas problem. The focus of this issue is Texas, but this is a national problem. And you got to understand, if somehow, some way, Republicans were able to hold on to the House next year, and in spite of the fact that I think they should lose because of, you know, the big budget bill took healthcare away from millions of people, they gave tax breaks to billionaires who didn’t need it. If they were somehow able to hold on to the House in 2026, that is the House of Representatives that would have to certify who won the presidential election come 2028, 2029. Now, if you want to play with fire, and that’s what we’re doing here, you put in a bunch of partisan hacks who are not supposed to be in the House, who are there because of gerrymandering and a whole range of other things that Republicans are doing, and then put at risk the possibility that that body would not certify who the next president was, that is — that’s why this is a national problem. This is not something only the Texans ought to be concerned about.”
