Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday night he is considering challenging President Trump in 2020.
“I’m thinking about it,” the former Obama official told Stephen Colbert on his late night show.

Colbert asked Holder about a potential run by reading a tweet by journalist April Ryan, who reported last week that the former attorney general was “seriously considering” a run for the White House.
“What I’ve said is that I’d make a determination sometime early next year. My focus, really, now is on 2018, the midterms and trying to make sure that Democrats take back the Senate, take back the House and that we do well, importantly, at the state level,” he said.
Holder was in New Hampshire in early June, sparking speculation that he’d run for the White House because that state hold the country’s first primary each election cycle.
