Since his time as president came to an end on January 20, Barack Obama has gone kitesurfing while on vacation and grabbed a meal in New York City with his daughter Malia, but this week, Politico reported that, according to former attorney general Eric Holder, Obama will soon be making his way back into the realm of politics.

Holder told Politico that Obama was "ready to roll" and looking at helping the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which hopes to produce fairer maps in the 2021 redistricting process to aid with issues like gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is when a party redraws the lines of a district to give it an advantage over the other party. Because many current districts were drawn by Republican-majority state legislatures, the maps tend to favor Republican candidates. Democrats are currently in the minority in both the House and the Senate, so Obama and other Democrats are looking ahead to the midterm elections in 2018 when they hope to pick up seats and potentially take the majority.

Holder also told Politico, “This is really a battle for our democracy. The notion that people are denied their ability to cast a meaningful vote...is inconsistent with who we say we are, inconsistent with what we say our democracy is about.”
