Democratic Senator Cory Booker abandons Race for White House

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker on Monday, 13, left the democratic party nomination for the White House in the November elections against current U.S. President Donald Trump, who is trying to re-election. The financing of his campaign was one of the main factors for the suspension of his pre-campaign candidacy.

"Our campaign has reached the point where we need more money. Money that we don't have and that's harder to get because I won't be in the next debate," he said in a statement released Monday. On the other hand, African-American Booker could not climb the polls, stable 1.8% of voting intentions.

The main pre-candidates still in the Democratic race are former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden,Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. New York businessman and former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, with own funding and Wall Street taxpayers, has the potential to rise in the polls.

With Booker's departure, the 12 suitors to the Democratic nomination to run for the White House have become less diverse. Among the pre-candidates still vying, only Deval Patrick, former governor of Massachusetts, is black.

Booker tried to build his campaign around a union message. He has always repeated that the November election "will not be a referendum on Donald Trump," but a consultation on "who we should be to each other."

In addition to Booker, two other pre-candidates suspended their campaigns earlier this year: Former Housing Secretary Julian Castro and writer Marianne Williamson. The party's primary begins in February, when Democratic voters go to the polls in Iowa. The process only ends on June 6, when the results of the polls in the Virgin Islands are accounted for.
