Booker says Democratic Party ‘desperately needs new leadership’
Booker urged Democrats to focus on voters and said the party must present a compelling vision after an incomplete 192-page DNC autopsy.
- On Sunday, Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, told CNN's Jake Tapper that the Democratic Party "desperately needs new leadership," with midterm elections less than six months away.
- Days before Booker's remarks, the Democratic National Committee released a 192-page autopsy of Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 loss to President Trump, which DNC Chair Ken Martin criticized as incomplete.
- Booker highlighted Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia, Texas state Rep. James Talarico, and former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper as rising leaders "stepping up and building trust with voters."
- Asked about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Booker demurred, though he stressed that Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries must offer Americans a different vision than Trump.
- Booker reiterated concerns from March about 'generational renewal,' emphasizing that Democrats lose elections by opposing Trump rather than articulating positive ideas while voters have lost trust in traditional politics.
