Cory Booker Wins Reelection, Eyes 2028 Presidential Run

After winning reelection to the Senate by a wide margin, Cory Booker has not ruled out seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, saying his immediate focus is addressing Americans’ shared concerns and the affordability gap around housing, health care and other costs. He is already building a national profile, including trips to South Carolina, an early state in the Democratic presidential primary, where he plans to speak with Black voters and discuss the party’s future. Booker has also argued that Democrats must rebuild voters’ trust and become a broader coalition, while criticizing the administration’s policies and conduct. His victory came amid major Democratic gains in New Jersey and across the country.
