Cory Booker is a very left leaning Democrat. He also seems to be an establishment-acceptable guy. And he's also a grandstander. By refusing to endorse a communist mayoral candidate for New York City, he's clearly angling for a 2028 presidential run. Why is not clear; while the race is supposedly wide open, if Gavin Newsome runs the fix will be in for him. And regardless, Corey Booker is highly likely to Kamala Harris (Munson) his own candidacy anyway.
