Final week, CNN host Manu Raju requested Booker, “If a part of the difficulty together with your celebration, do you suppose, is just not embracing sufficient of the vitality on the left flank of your celebration? You’re seeing what’s occurring in your neighboring state in New York, Zohran Mamdani.”
