The Best People with Nicolle Wallace · Eric Holder: Institutions Have Failed Us, the American People Have Not · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

You know, Barry Weiss's history is not one that gives me great confidence.

You know, the deals that they had to strike to do the kinds of things that they wanted to do with the administration also make me wonder whether or not they're going to, you know, kind of cut.

things in such a way that'll be acceptable to the administration, but inconsistent with the facts.

This isn't Walter Cronkite, Eric Severide, Charles Collingsworth.

You know, that was my go-to 6.30, 7 o'clock in East Elmhurst in Queens while we're eating dinner.

That's what we were watching for that half hour.

That's not that network anymore.

Yeah, Democrats blew it.

You know, we had trifecta control, we had the White House, both houses of Congress, and we could have passed legislation, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, another bill and another bill that would have dealt with

Almost all the issues that we're dealing with now, this mid-cycle redistricting would not have been allowed.

And the reality is that certain senators did not want to have a carve-out from the filibuster.

Nancy Pelosi very adroitly got the bills through the House, but we couldn't get, I'll call it as it is, couldn't get Senators Sinema and Manchin to agree to a carve-out of the filibuster that would have allowed for the passage of those bills.

if there is a democratic trifecta in 2029 this should be as nancy pelosi made at hr1 we have to fix our system we have to put in place things that would ban partisan gerrymandering put in place mechanisms that would ensure that the lines that are drawn after the next census are done in a way that's fair don't favor democrats

don't favor Republicans, simply are drawn in a fair way so that the people choose who their elected representatives are, as opposed to politicians choosing who their voters are.

That's something I've been working on through the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

But there are lots of people, I think,

Now focusing on this issue as a result of what President Trump did with Texas.

You know, I've been trying to raise people's consciousness about the negative impacts of gerrymandering.

And he has raised this issue in a way that I was incapable of doing.

And now people are focused on this issue.
