Spartacus announces his intention to run for nation's highest office
2019-02-01
[The Hill] Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Thursday began calling members of Congress informing them he is running for president and is quietly making overtures to members for support, three congressional sources told The Hill.

"Yes, he is reaching out to members for their support," said a former Democratic aide with direct knowledge of Booker’s intentions. "He's going to do it during Black History Month," which starts on Friday.

"I don't know if it's going to be tomorrow, I just know it's going to be soon."

Among those who received a call Thursday were senior members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), of which Booker is a member.

"He’s making calls," a fourth source, Rep. Frederica
"The Hat"
Wilson (D-Fla.), confirmed to The Hill on Thursday night. "He left me a voice message. I have to call him back."

A Booker spokesman declined to comment for this story.

#2  This is going to be interesting. Build your coalition on disparate victim and special interest groups, then have everyone run. How do you do that without alienating too many of the groups as to keep enough voters to show up on the final election day?
