Former President Obama is holding a fundraiser for redistricting efforts along with ‘wingman’ Eric Holder, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The event is happening tomorrow, August 19th, and it’s happening on the ritzy Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard.
What is it about Martha’s Vineyard and Democrats? They’re absolutely obsessed with it as a destination, except for illegal immigrants, of course.
The Hill reported on this a couple of weeks ago:
Obama leading Democratic redistricting fundraiser in Martha’s Vineyard
Former President Obama is set to appear at a Democratic redistricting group’s fundraiser next month in Martha’s Vineyard, as the party looks to go toe-to-toe with Republicans’ redistricting push in Texas.
Obama is named as a special guest on an invitation for an event hosted by former Attorney General Eric Holder, the chair of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to an invitation obtained by The Hill and first reported by Politico.
The invitation says the dinner and discussion will benefit the NDRC and affiliated groups on Aug. 19.
Democrats are pushing for blue states to consider redrawing their House maps to offset similar efforts taking place in Texas, where President Trump has said he’s looking to pick up five House seats.
How perfect is it that Democrats are doing this in Massachusetts, a state with zero Republican representation, despite the fact that more than a third of the state voted for Trump?
