Sunny Hostin Thanks Sen. Cory Booker for Giving Democrats Like Her ‘a Fighter’ and ‘Resistance Leader’

‘There have been mounting calls for fresh leadership, myself among them’

EXCERPT:

HOSTIN: “Well, senator, people have been looking to the Democratic Party for a fighter, for a resistance leader, for an opposition party, and you gave them that. So thank you. (Applause) You called this a moral moment, and on the floor you invoked John Lewis saying, if it is to be, it is up to me. So there have been mounting calls for fresh Senate leadership -- myself among them -- so why not you?”
BOOKER: “Well, you know, Ella Baker said it so famously, we are the leaders that we've been looking for.”
HOSTIN: “Mm-hmm.”
BOOKER: “And Americans, we don't need a title to lead. You don't need a position to lead.”
HOSTIN: “Mm-hmm.”
BOOKER: “We all have the capacity to lead.”
