In Booker’s own words:
It’s an unusual move for a campaign like ours to be this transparent, but there can be no courage without vulnerability. I want people to see where we are and understand that we have a pathway to victory, but I can’t walk it alone. https://t.co/akjhAxjVey

He then followed up by stating the the gravity of the above tweet is serious and not just a cash grab.
This isn't an end-of-quarter stunt. This is a real, unvarnished look under the hood of our campaign at a level of transparency unprecedented in presidential politics.

We’re at a crossroads in this campaign. We need to raise $1.7 million by September 30 to be in a position to build the organization we need to compete for the nomination—and we can do it—but if we don’t, we don’t see a legitimate long-term path forward.

Finally, Booker urged both supporters and undecided Democrat voters to pitch in for the sake of saving his campaign. The 2020 furthermore described the state of his campaign as facing a “herculean challenge” which “can be done.”
If you’re all in for me, I can't thank you enough. But if you haven’t settled on a candidate & still think my voice belongs in this race, if you believe the Democratic field should include someone like me, I want you to understand the field may narrow & pay attention to this too.

This is a herculean challenge—but it can be done. I know because we’ve done it before. So today, I’m asking for your help. Chip in $5, $10—whatever you can—to help keep my voice in this race: https://t.co/thGpnEeVEd

Will Booker Gather the Necessary Funds to Continue His 2020 Presidential Campaign?
Only time will only tell whether or not Booker gathers the necessary funds to remain in the 2020 race. Thus far, the 2020 Democrat’s tweets have garnered significant attention. Individuals on the left-wing are subsequently urging Democrat voters to chip in if Booker’s continued competition is of interest to them.
