New Jersey Democrat senator Cory Booker has left the Democrat race for president for 2020.
That may surprise many of you. I bet you thought he already had dropped out. Some of you may be surprised that he was ever in the race. Nevertheless, Booker is now out officially.
There were two main reasons for Booker's leaving the race: money and support. Campaign contributions had dried up. Support in polls had also vanished. It was so bad that Booker could no longer qualify for the Democrat debates. That's the point where he had no choice but to throw in the towel.
It's worth remembering that in the last three days Booker lamented how the impending impeachment trial might adversely affect his performance in Iowa and New Hampshire. In other words, Booker was in danger of losing the 1% support that he had earned in the race.
There's really only one question that I would like to ask Booker as he leaves the race: "Hey Cory, what took you so long to recognize that you had zero chance?"
