Cory Booker Meets Donor Requirement For Next Democratic Debate But His Poll Numbers Still Too Low

Because of new rules set in place by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), it may be even more difficult for Booker and other candidates to make it to the next Democratic debate. Booker has already received financial donations from at least 225,000 separate individuals but is only ranked at 2 percent in a recent poll from The New York Times.
