Sen. Cory Booker's 2020 presidential campaign team is making an urgent appeal to supporters as the end of the third quarter nears, warning that his campaign will need a significant fundraising surge to remain competitive in the race.
"The next 10 days will determine whether Cory Booker can stay in this race and compete to win the nomination," Booker's campaign manager Addisu Demissie wrote in a memo Saturday sent to supporters.That blunt assessment comes at a crucial juncture in the 2020 race, as other Democratic campaigns are aggressively building out their operations, and with the Democratic National Committee poised to raise the polling and donor thresholds for the November debates.
"Without a fundraising surge to close out this quarter," Demissie wrote," we do not see a legitimate long-term path forward."Breathless fundraising appeals are not uncommon among political campaigns, but Demissie stressed in the memo that his dire warning wasn't merely a"stunt."Read More"This is a real, unvarnished look under the hood of our operation at a level of transparency unprecedented in modern presidential campaigns," he wrote.
