Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Thursday began calling members of Congress informing them he is running for president and is quietly making overtures to members for support, three congressional sources told The Hill.
"Yes, he is reaching out to members for their support,” said a former Democratic aide with direct knowledge of Booker’s intentions. "He's going to do it during Black History Month,” which starts on Friday.
“I don't know if it's going to be tomorrow, I just know it's going to be soon."
Among those who received a call Thursday were senior members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), of which Booker is a member.
“He’s making calls,” a fourth source, Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), confirmed to The Hill on Thursday night. “He left me a voice message. I have to call him back.”
A Booker spokesman declined to comment for this story.

Absolutely horrible mayor so I am sure he would be a good president.
Booker is an idiot.

Bummer that it couldn’t be done during Roman History Month.

There are “I am Spartacus” T-shirts available on Amazon. I checked.
Some are keyed to TV and movies, and there’s one with just the words. None yet with Booker’s silly face.

Probably by design. Trying to keep the focus on the DEMs 24/7 during the campaign season.

Cat fight with commalatoe.
Can’t there some kind of mixed martial arts battle between them?
Or get all of the Dems and the Starbucks clown into the act.
Final two in a steel cage match. No holds barred. One survivor to face Trump. Whatever is left of that survivor.
Pay per view money going to charity.
I’m finally interested in Dem politics again.
