DES MOINES, IOWA - US Senator Cory Booker, an African-American candidate who had bemoaned the increasing lack of diversity in the Democratic presidential field, ended his White House campaign on Monday , saying he lacked the money to extend his bid.
His departure from the race came one day before the latest Democratic presidential debate in Iowa, where six candidates, all white, have qualified for the stage. In an email to supporters, Booker said the campaign did not have the money to continue competing, especially given that he would miss Tuesday's debate and will likely be forced off the campaign trail to serve as a juror in Trump's upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate.
At times, his plea to supporters in the 2020 campaign seemed tinged with desperation. In September, he warned that unless he raised US$1.7 million in 10 days, he would have to drop out of the race.
We’re fuming over the shortsightedness & incompetent stewardship of Progs in this election. Party feud=GOOD. Lets finally bury the Socialists in their SECOND subversion of Moderate Policy. Sanders lies will be exposed just like Trumps. Only fools believe ANYTHING is ‘free’.
