Cory Booker Insists Dems’ Plan To Beat Trump ‘Is Working’

Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said Sunday on CNN that the Democratic Party’s plan to beat President Donald Trump “is working.”

Democrats have struggled to settle on a message that will win over voters in the upcoming midterms, after Trump won both the Electoral College and the popular vote in November. On “State of the Union,” CNN host Dana Bash asked Booker point-blank why the party “didn’t have a better plan,” after highlighting that the Trump administration’s current strategy to “do as much at once” to “overwhelm the system” had been previously “laid out in Project 2025.”

“Well, again, I think the plan right now is working in four parts. One is a legal strategy to stop him from violating the separation of powers, from violating our civil service laws, civil rights laws and we’re winning. We see 41 cases being taken, 10 of them last week, 12 of them, excuse me, were successful in stopping some of his illegal actions,” Booker said. “The next is a legislative and oversight effort to really try to expose it, not to treat this as Democrat versus Republican, right or left, but really right or wrong and continue to try to use our positions procedurally as well as legislatively to stop what he’s doing.”

“Then finally, perhaps most importantly, because all of us have to have a role, from the media to everyday citizens, which is shining a light on the dark corners of what they’re doing and how it is actually endangering Americans’ lives, is threatening to raise the cost of people’s everyday goods and inflation and more,” Booker added.

In their most recent attempt to push back against Republicans, Democrats have been seen protesting with supporters against the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) Elon Musk and his involvement in the Trump administration.
