Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who's believed to be considering a 2020 presidential run, raised nearly $1.1 million in the second fundraising quarter of 2018, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Booker, who’s not up for reelection this year, spent a little more than half a million dollars between April and June. He ended June with more than $3.5 million in the bank. This is Booker's largest quarterly fundraising haul since the start of the 2018 cycle, and the first time he's raised more than $1 million in a single quarter. “I heard from constituents today asking about corporate PAC contributions. I'm joining several of my colleagues & no longer accepting these contributions,” Booker tweeted back in February. “Our campaign finance system is broken. I thank @StopBigMoney for their work—it’s time to pass campaign finance reform.” Booker has been an outspoken critic of President Trump and his Cabinet members.
The senator, who sits on the Judiciary Committee, has used his sharp criticism of the president’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, as a way to stand out among a potentially crowded 2020 field. Booker told CNN last month that he’ll make a decision about whether he’ll run for president in 2020 at the end of this year.
"I'm not going to play coy. I'm sure after the midterm elections, I'll give it a look," Booker told CNN in a June interview. "But to me, my momentum, my energy, my focus is 2018 and making sure I get re-elected in 2020."

Willing to risk his NJ Senate seat in 2020? Filing deadline for NJ Dem primary is April 2020. No idea if different filing deadline for Pres primary in NJ. Or if he can be listed two time on ballot etc.
This guy MUST be defeated. We cannot have another Marxist president!
"...Cory Booker..."
He should run with Kamala Harris.
Even gayer than Obama.
Laws don’t mean anything in NJ, they substituted for Torricelli after the deadline, it was illegal, nothing was done.
The Donald would eat this guys lunch, spit him out and laugh about it.
I’m not concerned about how well President Trump could handle this guy, I am concerned however about the increasing number of fools who buy into his socialist nonsense. Unfortunately fools vote. That is why we had eight (8) years of Obama. We must not allow that to happen again.

we actually WANT him in the mix. he will pull the whole field radically left, and simultaneously blow the crazy and the stupid factors through the roof.
it will be the best entertainment value since cynthia mckinney blessed us with her non-stop, howling insanity.
Ohhh noo,
Obammy was elected to wash away America’s slave guilt.
By electing him we were going to wipe away said guilt.
Guess that didn’t work out too well.
Simply stirred to race pot.
Crazy leftist is all the rage.
Besides, they somehow end up filthy rich..?
Which is really what “socialist/progressives” really want.
They don’t give a damn about global warming, trans-whatevers, the unborn..legal citizens...America..they want the pie!
Does anyone remember when we questioned whether a Catholic could be President? Even earlier we questioned whether a Quaker could serve. We will not question whether a Muslim can serve.
I wouldn’t worry too much. Black Senator. Been there Done that. Same with Harris.She’s NOT LIKABLE. OK? Hillary, Kerry, Gore.
Maybe he thinks he is the next "magic Negro".
The Martin O’Malley (looks like Kennedy!) of this election cycle. (Looks like Obama!)
Can you say venezuela?
