Senator Cory Booker, a Democrat from New Jersey, recently spoke at a campaign event for Nevada Democrats in North Las Vegas. During his speech, Booker emphasized the importance of grassroots campaigning in the 2024 presidential race and connecting with supporters on the ground. He met with volunteers for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, signaling a shift in focus from President Joe Biden, who had dropped out of the race.
Booker praised Biden for gracefully stepping aside and allowing Harris to take the lead, highlighting her historic candidacy as a “glass ceiling breaker.” He highlighted his personal ties to Nevada, where his mother lives, and his longstanding relationship with Harris. The event was attended by enthusiastic volunteers who were eager to canvas for Harris and engage with young voters who have shown increased support for her campaign.
The discussion also touched upon concerns about Project 2025, a conservative plan that has garnered criticism for its proposed policies such as dismantling the Department of Education and promoting privatized schooling. Booker urged volunteers to reach out to their communities and engage with individuals who may not have been involved in politics before. With just over 100 days until the election, Booker emphasized the critical role that volunteers play in shaping the outcome of the election.
