Holder Condemns Texas Gerrymandering as Authoritarian | JQJO

Eric Holder, former Attorney General and chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, criticized Texas's attempt to redraw its congressional maps as an "authoritarian move." On "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Holder argued that the Texas plan necessitates Democrats employing tactics previously opposed, citing threats to democracy. He mentioned potential actions in California and New York, though acknowledging legal hurdles. Holder's shift stems from the increased threat to democracy posed by the Texas map, which he feels requires a more aggressive response. He also addressed the release of Epstein files, advocating for release of non-grand jury investigative material.
