Corey Booker set to launch his campaign tour from the city where he was mayor.
Democratic presidential hopeful Cory Booker will launch a national campaign tour Saturday with a major rally in the New Jersey city where he served as mayor, as he looks to break out of a crowded 2020 field of more than a dozen viable candidates.
Booker's campaign offered few details about what he will say at his rally beyond describing it as an opportunity to outline his case to be the Democratic nominee to take on President Donald Trump. Demissie described it as a "framing moment," adding that the former mayor will be "diving deeper into some of the themes" from his speech during the two-week national tour that it kickstarts. His first stops are in Iowa, Georgia and Nevada.
Booker, 49, raised more than $5 million in the first quarter of the year, his campaign said, which is less than higher-polling candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke reported raising in their first 24 hours in the race. That sum ranks Booker behind at least six contenders, including South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who raked in $7 million.
