Cory Booker: Joe Biden Is the Best Person to Heal and Unite the Largest Swaths of America

‘I’m tired of us trying to turn Democrats against each other with labels’

EXCERPT:

BOOKER: "You know, my whole life, my professional life, I've lived in a — in fact, I’m the only senator that lives in a community below the poverty line, where we have shootings in our neighborhood still, even though our mayor is doing a great job, where we see people working full-time jobs and still needing food stamps. My whole life is fighting against the forces that are holding back those communities. I’m tired of us trying to turn Democrats against each other with labels. We need to unite our party. There are great people who have supported every candidate from Warren supporters to Bullock supporters. We have great, great people in our party. We need to come together, though, and unite. We’ve got one shot to beat Donald Trump, one shot to make him a one-term president. I’m not giving up that shot. Joe Biden is the best person to heal and unite the largest swaths of America. Even independents and moderate Republicans, I believe, will come over to him and support him. This is what we need. And I’ll add one more thing to this because I just came from campaigning in Arizona with Mark Kelly, who is an amazing candidate. If we’re going to win back the Senate and the House and see the kind of wave election we need, he’s the best person."
