The Cory Booker 2020 presidential campaign was the presidential campaign of Cory Booker. He announced on February 1, 2019 that he would run for President of the United States.[1] The president gave a quick response.[4] Before this, he had already been widely speculated to be in the process of preparing to run for President.[5] There is a big office for the campaign.[6]

Background[change | change source]

In 2018, Politico identified him as part of a movement along with Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, given he voted "to stop [the president's] nominees for administration jobs"; all of the Senators in this group were considered potential 2020 presidential contenders at this point in time.[7] That year and in early 2019, he began travelling early in the campaign schedule.[5][8][9]

After failing to qualify for the sixth debate and poor polling numbers, Booker ended his campaign on January 13, 2020.[10]
