Booker: Biden Will Be One of The Most Progressive Presidents We’ve Had on Criminal Justice Reform

EXCERPT:

BOOKER: “So it’s not what Joe Biden is saying he’s going to do. It’s what Joe Biden has already done when he was vice president of the United States and what he was working on. Again, much of the innovations were stopped by Congress that was controlled by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. So I am telling you right now, I spent my entire life, entire professional life living and working in African-American communities. I am proud that I live in Newark, New Jersey, a majority African-American city, in fact. But I’ll tell you, I have confidence, so much confidence in the leadership of Joe Biden to be one of the most progressive presidents we’ve had on criminal justice reform, on policing reform, on economic inclusion, on ending environmental racism. There are so many things I’m just excited to partner with him on after January."
