Senator Cory Booker’s fundraising isn’t keeping pace with what’s required and the New Jersey lawmaker will quit the Democratic presidential race unless he collects $1.7 million in the next 10 days, the campaign said.
“If we cannot raise the $1.7 million to scale up our operation, we don’t believe we are going to be in position to compete for the nomination,” Addisu Demissie, Booker’s manager, said Saturday in a call with reporters.
