Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., dropped out of the 2020 presidential race Monday, after failing to gain traction in national polls and failing to qualify for two Democratic debates.
"Today I'm suspending my campaign for president in the same spirit with which it began," Booker said in a video posted Monday morning.
Democratic presidential candidate Senator Cory Booker responds to a question during a forum held by gun safety organizations the Giffords group and March For Our Lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, October 2, 2019."Today I'm suspending my campaign for president in the same spirit with which it began," Booker said in a video posted Monday morning.
"Campaigning over this last year has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Meeting you, meeting people across this country who believe, who know that we may have challenges right now in our nation, but together, we will rise," Booker said. He did not make the stage for the December Democratic debate, criticizing the DNC for upholding hard-to-reach standards to qualify. His departure leaves only two people of color in the race: businessman Andrew Yang and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
