By Booker’s own admission, the “impeachment business” that requires his time in Washington as a senator didn’t help his cause either. In an email to his supporters, the now-former candidate explained that he ultimately lacked the funds to continue running.
It’s with a full heart that I share this news—I’m suspending my campaign for president.
To my team, supporters, and everyone who gave me a shot—thank you. I am so proud of what we built, and I feel nothing but faith in what we can accomplish together. pic.twitter.com/Fxvc549vlJ

Earlier today, Booker appeared on CBS This Morning in order to discuss his now-defunct presidential campaign. The senator also weighed in on the current state of affairs in the 2020 race, indirectly referencing the brewing tensions between candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
Booker opined that none of the Democrats running for office should be “attacking” one another; this is a talking point that the former candidate regularly articulated on the debate stage when 2020 rivals sparred with one another.
Sen. @CoryBooker didn't comment on the specifics of the clash between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but called both candidates "deeply good people" and commended all the Democrats running for president. https://t.co/4ssaIvthkJ
