Cory Booker no longer denies being vetted for VP
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNew Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is no longer flatly denying that he’s being vetted as a potential running mate for presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Booker has said in recent weeks that it was flattering to be mentioned but that he wasn’t being vetted.
Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Booker now says, “If you have a question like that, please direct it to the Clinton campaign.”
It’s possible that Democrats won’t want Booker plucked from his Senate seat: New Jersey’s Republican governor, Chris Christie, would pick Booker’s replacement if he leaves for the White House. Democrats are hoping to win a majority in the Senate this election and might not want to take that chance.
