Failing Democratic presidential hopeful Cory Booker confirmed Thursday he will not qualify to appear at the next debate; saying he couldn’t complete the criteria by today’s deadline.
“Today is the deadline for the DNC’s December debate qualifying threshold—and while I may not be on the debate stage next Thursday, thanks to the outpouring of support over the past few weeks, we know there’s a path to victory, and we no longer need the debate stage to get there,” posted Booker on social media.
The voters deserve to decide who the Democratic nominee should be, and I know that together, we can win this race.
Next week, I’ll be on the road hearing directly from and sharing my vision with the people who will determine the outcome of this race—the way it should be.

My entire career I've brought people together to take on our toughest challenges.
I beat slumlords taking advantage of low-income families, ushered in Newark’s greatest economic growth in a generation, and overcame Washington's broken politics to pass criminal justice reform.

I’m not sticking around for vanity or ego—I’m in this to win it because I believe I’m the best candidate to beat Donald Trump and lead this country to higher ground.

“I’ll be doing what we’ve done for the last ten months of this campaign and throughout my time in public service—meeting people where they are, in living rooms and church basements, at coffee shops and in diners, and discussing how to tackle the most pressing challenges we face,” Booker posted.
