Former attorney general Eric Holder endorsed former vice president Joe Biden on Tuesday, emphasizing that he thinks Biden is prepared to address the issues stemming from the coronavirus and will also work to reduce mass incarceration and heal a divided nation.
Holder, announcing his endorsement for the first time, told The Washington Post his former fellow Obama administration official would prioritize criminal justice reform if elected.
“This is one of those issues that people are going to be surprised at how forward-leaning he’s likely to be,” Holder said.
As attorney general, Holder implemented directives aimed at decreasing mass incarceration, including directing prosecutors to refrain from seeking mandatory minimums for lower-level drug offenses. He said he is convinced that Biden will continue this work.
