Former Attorney General Eric Holder warned that if Texas Republicans succeed at gerrymandering the state's congressional districts, it could impact the legitimacy of the certification of the next presidential election.
"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," Holder said Monday night on CNN.
ERIC HOLDER: This is not a Texas problem.
Yeah, the focus of this issue is Texas, but this is a national problem. And you’ve got to understand—if somehow, some way, Republicans are able to hold on to the House next year, in spite of the fact that I think they should lose—because of, you know, the big budget bill that took health care 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 a... that’s why this is a national problem.
This is not something only the Texans ought to be concerned about.

Must be "series."
They both should be behind bars for ever.
Who says the Texans are gerrymandering?
Has anyone seen maps of the old and new districts? A true gerrymander should be easy to spot.
Only our gerrymandering is valid, says Democrat.
They know they’re safe and just a matter of time before they’re back in power.

EH needs to be locked up.
Look at any facts in this debate. Those who made a comment about gerrymandering said the Dems were fair, and the Repubs were not The facts are if you look at the states controlled by Dems, only Michigan is fair and split down the middle. Massachusetts? 9 House Reps for the Dems, 0 for Republicans. Trump got 36 % of the vote. NY? Trump got 43.3 % of the vote, and have 27 % of the House Reps. CA? Trump got 38.3% of the vote, but only 26.4 of House Members. And Illinois, where most of the Dems fled to from Texas? Trump got 43.9 % of the vote, but Republicans only 17.6 % of member for the House of Representatives. It looks like the Dems have perfected gerrymandering in MA, and want more from the rest of the states they manage.
ELECTION DENIERS!!!
Hochul an the Dems took 3 seats from the GOP before 2024 by doing what Abbot is doing right now. But does anyone even mention it.
Is that Eric (Russia Gate) Holder! Gee looky, looky, looky who just came back…..
The infamous gun runners.
He’s wrong. It’s the Congress elected in 2028, that gets seated in January 2029, which will certify the 2028 presidential election. ‘Ef him.
Oh, like was done here in NV so the c-rats could hold their super majority? But, Lombardo is looking at some changes.
Yo Holder! When Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out.
Newsflash: Former Attorney General Eric Holder confirms Democrats impacted the legitimacy of the certification of past presidential elections with their own gerrymandering accomplishments.
Hung with his own rope.
STFU and lawyer up sucka.
How come it isn’t “playing with fire” when the DemonRATs do it? Take off Holder. You haven’t a clue.
Holder’s mission since leaving the White Hut has been to gerrymander for the democrats. In one shot the GOP in Texas is about to undo everything he has done. He is one of the biggest POS on this and has Gerrymandering stink on his hands.
The fact that Obama and Holder crawled out from under a rock to protest this shows that the Dems were trying to insulate themselves from the consequences of their massive unpopularity. They honestly thought they would win the House by default and stymie Trump,
Whomp whomp.
