Booker: Democratic Party ‘has failed this moment’
Booker criticizes Democratic 'purity tests' and calls for new leadership focused on unity and addressing technological and economic challenges, while not ruling out a 2028 presidential bid.
- On Sunday, Senator Cory Booker told NBC News' Meet the Press he is "definitely not ruling out" a 2028 presidential bid while prioritizing his Senate reelection campaign this year.
- The New Jersey senator previously launched a presidential campaign in 2020 before exiting in January due to low polling. Last week, Booker released a new book, "Stand," fueling speculation about another bid.
- Citing the conflict in Iran, Booker criticized the administration's foreign policy, calling it a "blunder" that has cost over $25 billion with over 300 people injured and no congressional authorization.
- During the interview, Booker urged Democrats to abandon ideological purity tests, arguing the party should present a "more uniting" vision rather than solely countering President Donald Trump.
- A potential 2028 run could pit Booker against Democratic primary opponents including former Vice President Kamala Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
