Eric Holder attends canvassing event for Democratic Ohio Supreme Court candidates

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder fired up canvassers at a recent event for the three Democratic candidates running for Ohio Supreme Court.

Holder joined incumbent Democratic Justice Melody Stewart who is running for re-election at a canvassing event in Columbus Thursday afternoon.

“Three great candidates for the Ohio Supreme Court that we’ve got to work for, vote for and put them up there,” Holder said before Democratic volunteers went door knocking. “The stakes are too high. The stakes are simply too hot. Donald Trump has created a permission structure for the Republican Party. He’s actually transformed the Republican Party, maybe even destroyed the Republican Party, and it is now just a MAGA-cult.”

Six candidates are vying for three seats on the Ohio Supreme Court, which the Republicans currently have a 4-3 majority.

Republican Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Megan Shanahan is going up against incumbent Democratic Justice Michael P. Donnelly. Republican Justice Joseph Deters opted not to run for his current seat and is instead competing for Stewart’s seat for a full six-year term. Republican Judge Dan Hawkins and Democratic Judge Lisa Forbes, of the Eighth District Court of Appeals, are going for Deters’ open seat, a term that will expire on Dec. 31, 2026.
