Former President Barack Obama will host a Democratic fundraiser on August 31, 2026, on Martha's Vineyard to support the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC). The event, organized by former Attorney General Eric Holder, will include dinner and a discussion with Obama. The NDRC focuses on congressional redistricting, especially as Democrats prepare for the 2028 election amid financial challenges. Democratic officials are considering new congressional maps in several states, including New York and Virginia, to counter Republican gains from recent redistricting. Efforts may require costly statewide campaigns or constitutional amendments. Obama has been involved in redistricting efforts since leaving office, and the NDRC was founded in 2017 by Holder. The organization has previously raised significant funds for its initiatives, including a reported $1.5 million in 2023. The fundraiser will take place on the affluent island, known for its high real estate prices and as a gathering place for Democratic leaders. The NDRC has not disclosed specific fundraising goals for the event.
