一位消息人士向美国广播公司证实,前总统巴拉克·奥巴马将于下月在玛莎葡萄园岛主持一场由全国民主党选区划分委员会主办的筹款活动。
该小组由前司法部长埃里克·霍尔德主持,他也将与名誉议长南希·佩洛西一起出席此次活动。
筹款活动定于8月19日举行,特朗普有争议地鼓励共和党人在十年中期重新划分选区,特别是在德克萨斯州,这促使民主党人表示,他们的州将通过重新划分国会选区进行反击。
这是奥巴马自2024年总统大选以来在新泽西州最近的一次活动后的第二次筹款活动。
Obama to headline August redistricting fundraiser
Former President Barack Obama will headline a fundraiser next month in Martha’s Vineyard hosted by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a source confirmed to ABC News.
The group is chaired by former Attorney General Eric Holder, who will also attend the event, alongside Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
The fundraiser is scheduled for Aug. 19 and comes as Trump controversially encourages Republicans to take up redistricting mid-decade, particularly in Texas -- which has moved Democrats to suggest their states will hit back by redrawing their congressional districts.
This is Obama's second fundraiser since the 2024 presidential election following a recent event in New Jersey.
