to bring holdouts to the fold media.

[Maine]

Коллеги!
Помогите, пожалуйста, уловить суть фразы:
he and White have been trying to bring Hillary holdouts to the fold

На сколько я понимаю, речь идет о возвращении заблудшей овцы в стадо, только не понятно, кто овца и где стадо:))

Yet Rattner has his detractors. Even some of his admirers accuse him of being a hypercareerist with the journalistic savvy to promote himself above all else (none would say so on the record, for fear of incurring Rattner's ire). For example, some point accusingly to Rattner's newfound support of Obama—he and White have been trying to bring Hillary holdouts to the fold, and they are looking to raise at least $1 million for him.
