Hey team -- in case you missed Wednesday’s debate, here’s what went down:
Even though his podium was all the way on the edge of the stage, Cory Booker broke out to win the night, making it clear that he deserves a spot at the December debate. If you agree, please click here to chip in to our campaign.
He used his first opportunity to speak on stage to focus on growing wealth in disadvantaged communities.
He spoke passionately about not only raising the minimum wage but also about fostering Black entrepreneurship.
He spoke about his family’s roots, as well as his lived experience representing a majority Black and Brown community.
He didn’t shy away from policy differences with other candidates but always brought it back to a message of unity in the face of Donald Trump’s division.
And in his impromptu closing statement, he made the case to voters as to why he belongs on the December debate stage -- and they are responding. We raised more in the first 22 minutes of the 11 p.m. hour than we did in the twelve hours following the third and fourth debates... combined.
Cory showed us why he has the temperament and leadership style needed to unite the party to defeat Donald Trump. But right now, he has not yet qualified for the December debate.
In fact, the only candidates that have qualified are Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, and Amy Klobuchar.
If you believe in Cory’s voice and that he should be on the stage in December, please donate to our campaign today. We can’t do it without you.
Thanks,
