Barack Obama and Eric Holder Announce Partnership

On Monday, the progressive group born out of Barack Obama’s old campaign apparatus -- Organizing for Action -- officially launched a partnership with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NRDC), Eric Holder’s campaign organizing group. Politico reports that the conversations have been underway for several months, but the announcement came as Obama is slated to appear at an OFA event in Chicago on November 8th -- the anniversary of last year’s election -- for a conversation with organizers and major donors for the group. Meanwhile, the NDRC has spent the past year fundraising and putting the pieces together in preparation for what it’s hoping will be a very active presence in the courts and on the campaign trail in 2018 and beyond. More here.
