U.S. Sen. Cory Booker to visit Morris College on Monday
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, speaks during a news conference outside of his home on Feb. 1 in Newark, New Jersey. Booker earlier in the day declared his bid for the presidency with a sweeping call to unite a deeply polarized nation around a "common purpose." The 49-year-old Booker told reporters that "love ain't easy," adding: "The people I admire are the people that lead by calling out the best of who we are and not the worst. So, I'm running for president because I believe in us. I believe in these values."
