Now, with less than three months to go until the Iowa caucuses, Booker‘s campaign is again staring down the barrel.
Like Booker, Harris joined the field earlier this year with high name recognition and high expectations. But her momentum flagged amid internal divisions in her campaign, progressives’ critiques of her record as a prosecutor, and hazy messaging. Sheon Tuesday.
With the prospect of an entirely white debate stage now looming, Booker is attempting to re-energize his campaign. Though they’ve emphasized that they’re not trying to capitalize on Harris’ exit, Booker aides to the Associated Press that the end of her campaign could be a chance for the candidate to champion a broader coalition. “We have all the kindling on the fire,” said campaign manager, describing her as a candidate to whom “little girls and boys and people all around the country looked up and said, ‘That could be me.” He also emphasized the importance of a diverse field, telling supporters that “this is not about one candidate....
A donor with direct knowledge of the communications told the AP that Booker’s campaign was also reaching out to Harris’s donor network, hoping to pick up some much-needed cash.

His competitors are none too pleased with his plan to spend up to $1 billion of his own money on his campaign, which kicked off with a $30 million TV ad buy and millions more in online ads if you include the $100 million spent on anti-Donald Trump online ads just before he announced his candidacy.
