The next 10 days will decide whether Sen. Cory Booker's campaign for president continues.
In a new internal memo, which was leaked and posted on Medium Saturday, Booker's campaign manager Addisu Demissie said Booker needs to raise $1.7 million by Sept. 30 to be in a position to continue running for president. If not, Booker may not meet the"increase in the DNC's debate-qualifying thresholds, which would require significant funds to meet."
During a press call Saturday morning, Demissie made clear if Booker doesn't raise $1.7 in the next 10 days, he will drop out. At this stage, Booker's campaign said it is starting to fall behind leading Democratic presidential contenders. Booker only polled at 1% in the ABC News September poll. In that same poll, among 480 Democratic primary voters, former Vice President Joe Biden polled at 27%, Sen. Bernie Sanders at 19 percent, Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 17% and Sen. Kamala Harris at 7%.Qualifying for the upcoming October Democratic debate isn't enough; Booker needs money to come in quickly, Demissie said.
