Former Attorney General Eric Holder told a group of Cincinnati Democrats that he's interested in running for president, CNN reported Sunday.
The network reported that City Councilman Wendell Young asked Holder on Friday if he has "any interest in being president.
"Am I interested (in) it? Yeah, I'm interested," Holder responded.
Holder reportedly said he won't decide until next year on a potential 2020 campaign, noting he needs to consult with his family.
He previously told CNN that he believes the right candidate should be able to inspire people, have the vision for the job, the physical and mental capacity for the job and have the right experience.
"I think that I am OK when it comes to those five criteria where I set up," Holder told CNN last week.
"But there is a personal component to it as well," he added. "People say it, but it really is true. It is a familial thing: I have kids; I have got a wife who is going to help be a part of this decision. That is for next year."
Holder has previously said he's open to a potential 2020 White House run.
He further raised speculation that he'd enter the race when he visited New Hampshire last month for the annual Politics and Eggs breakfast. Numerous presidential contenders have attended the breakfast in the past ahead of announcing their candidacy.
Holder, who served as attorney general from 2009-2015, currently runs the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, an organization he created that encourages pro-Democratic re-drawings of congressional districts.
The only sitting AG to be impeached for official misconduct should look good on any resume.
God must love Republicans.
Sorry Eric. Americans haven’t put the White House up for auction yet.
this is what happens when you don’t lock anyone up.
I would LOVE to see Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Eric Holder ALL run for President!!
WEINER/HOLDER 2020
Oh wait, he's a black DemonRat. NEVER MIND.
Please God let him run, Hillary too
“Am I interested (in) it? Yeah, I’m interested,” Holder responded.”
FU Holder, I responded.
And the corrupt South Carolina governor who stole public funds for his affair as well.
I’d sooner write in Joy Reid and Whoopsie.
Eric could really get out the vote!
The Republican vote!
“The only sitting AG to be impeached for official misconduct should look good on any resume.”
We’ve got another one right now...if there were any justice.
Yep, and just think: The possibility is still open that Hitlery could run again and win. Highly unlikely but the possibility is still there especially since we still have all these Obama holdovers still working in government ready to help her cheat again and we could end up with someone who should be doing life in prison as POTUS.Trump needs to dump Sessions ASAP and get someone in there who will do his job and start indicting these crooks
Good idea, and pick Maxine as your running mate. Thanks yesthatjallen.
About the only one who is.
How about the punk whose in Russia after giving away TS and TS SCI Intel while working for crooks Booz, Allen, and Hamilton. Ask any real DOD contractor about these deep state thugs.
He wasn't impeached. He was merely found in "contempt of Congress." Apparently, there is no penalty for that.
After all, in a slightly different sway, I hold Congress in contempt myself, as do many here on FR.
