Cory Booker announces he is ending his presidential bid
, he raised $335,389 through the end of September from showbiz source, enough to place him 6th among all candidates. By last fall, though, Booker was upfront that he was in danger of having to drop out of the race if his fundraising did not pick up.
Booker was one of two African American candidates still in the race for the Democratic nomination. Deval Patrick, the former governor of Massachusetts, entered the race late last fall and has yet to qualify for a debate. Sen. Kamala Harris and Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, FL, dropped out. Twelve candidates remain in the race, in a field that was once twice the size.
Booker also was among five senators still in the race, who face being in Washington, DC, in the coming weeks rather than the early states, if the Senate schedules the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump. The scheduling could impact the campaigns of those still running, including Sen. Bernie Sanders , Sen. Elizabeth Warren , Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Sen. Michael Bennet .
