For his first live TV interview since officially announcing his 2020 presidential campaign on Friday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) chose The View. Will he end up regretting that decision?
Right off the bat, he dove into his stump speech pitch. “I think all of us know that so many Americans are losing faith in this country's ability to work for them,” Booker said. “People are feeling left out, left behind. I think a lot of folks are beginning to feel that the forces that are tearing us apart in this country are stronger than the forces that tie us together. I don't believe that.”
“So I’m running to restore our sense of common purpose, to focus on the common pain that we have all over this country,” he continued. “We can do better and I'm going to be in it to try to show folks that when we come together, when we stand together, when we work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.”
