Barack Obama made history by reportedly signing the biggest book deal<\/a> for a former president Tuesday, but it was the future that was on his mind, according to one of his good friends. After barely more than a month into being out of professional politics, Obama was set to make a triumphant return to lead a wing of the Democratic Party in the era of President Donald Trump, former Attorney General Eric Holder said<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s coming. He\u2019s coming,”\u00a0Holder told members of the media. “And he\u2019s ready to roll.”<\/p>\n The former president will be a more visible part of the effort,” Holder declared.<\/p>\n In particular, Holder said Obama could work in some form with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee that works to combat gerrymandering and describes itself<\/a> as “an organization of Democratic leaders enacting a comprehensive, multi-cycle Democratic Party redistricting strategy over the next 5 years and beyond.” Holder became chairman of the group at Obama’s behest.<\/p>\n While Obama did not immediately confirm Holder’s proclamation, the video message that he and first lady Michelle Obama shared on Inauguration Day last month said in part that they would “now rejoin all of you as private citizens.”<\/p>\n
