Sen. Booker pressed on ‘new chapter’ campaign message for Kamala Harris at DNC: ‘She’s the incumbent VP’

CNN’s Jake Tapper pressed Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., on Sunday about the Democratic effort to brand Vice President Harris’ candidacy as a “new chapter,” despite the fact that she is the incumbent vice president. Tim Walz, also said he was “ready to turn the page on these guys,” referring to the GOP, and Former President Obama said during his speech at the DNC that America is “ready for a new chapter” and a “better story.” Right now, we see the MAGA Republicans in Congress killing all kinds of pragmatic policies that we need to get done on the most contentious issue,” Booker responded, referring to the border bill that was killed by Republican members of Congress. 35 DAYS: KAMALA HARRIS HAS NOT HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE SINCE EMERGING AS PRESUMPTIVE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE “To say that the MAGA Republicans are not still undermining common sense, pragmatic, sensible politics is just wrong. And what I know this election can do is finally kill that strain of the Republican Party, in a way that I think helps the pragmatic Republicans come back,” Booker continued. Booker said he can’t stand “tribalism,” and praised the Republicans who spoke at the DNC. “This is really a binary choice: are we going to have the politics of Donald Trump, which is smear and fear, denigration and demeaning, or are we going to have a page be turned in America where we get back to coming together, meeting in the middle, showing that we can compromise and actually get big things done as a nation,” Booker said.
