Democrat Cory Booker announces White House run

Democrat Cory Booker announced Friday he is running for US president, bringing a charismatic African-American voice to a crowded field jockeying to take on Donald Trump in 2020. Making the announcement in a video, the senator from New Jersey highlighted his roots in a racially divided urban America and evoked the civil rights movement in describing his own barrier-busting experience. Together, America, we will rise," said Booker, whose career and political appeal echoes that of former president Barack Obama.
