New Jersey Senator Cory Booker admitted on CNN he was 'caught off guard' by a Super PAC attack ad targeting South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, but said November poll leaders never win the Dem nomination.
Booker studied abroad at the University of Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship before attending Yale Law School in the early 1990s. He won his first political upset victory in 1998 on the Municipal Council of Newark. He went on to win the 2002 Newark mayoral election and became a U.S. senator in 2013. Buttigieg also was a Rhodes a Scholar after graduating from Harvard University.
"Look, at the end of the day, I'm running for the soul of our country," Booker continued."I'm running because I believe this nation should not be attacking each other, we should not be tearing each other down. This is a time we should be building each other up.
Acosta asked Booker why Buttigieg has been doing so well in Iowa polls while his campaign has seemingly struggled in the polls since he announced his run. "Look, I'll leave that to the pundits but we know this: the way people are measuring 'back of the pack, front of the pack' is with polling. And never in your lifetime or mine has there ever been someone who has gone, at this point in the November, from leading in the polls, to the White House from the Democratic Party."
Sen. Cory Booker:"My campaign looks a lot more like Bill Clinton's did, Jimmy Carter's did, and even Barack Obama."
