Cory Booker slams Democrats for having "failed this moment" as he teases 2028 presidential run
Washington DC - New Jersey Senator Cory Booker recently criticized his fellow Democrats for not rising to the occasion to fight President Donald Trump, hinting that he may be considering a presidential run in 2028.
On Sunday, Booker sat for an interview on the NBC News show Face the Nation, during which he called for new leadership, as he believes the entire party "has failed this moment."
"I've called for a generational renewal, because this left-right divide is killing our country and our adversaries know it," Booker argued.
"It is time for a new vision for our country that is far more uniting," he continued, adding, "Our ability to find common ground has always been our greatest hope."
The Senator's comments come as the party appears fractured, with progressive Democrats pushing for radical changes as more moderate members opt for maintaining the status quo.
Multiple Democrats have expressed particular disdain for the leadership of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, as many believe he is not doing enough to fight Trump, which may affect the party's chances of reclaiming a majority in the House and Senate during the November midterms.
Booker also pushed his new memoir, which has many people speculating that he is gearing up for another presidential run in 2028.
When pressed on if he is considering running, Booker said he is "definitely not ruling it out," but noted he is running for re-election in the fall and hopes New Jersey will "support me for another six years."
