Cory Booker

And I'm sorry that there are a lot of people in this country that don't feel like the Democrats give a damn about them, that they're not connected in them, that they don't feel like you're out there in the arena every day fighting for me. And if you don't solve that, you're not going to get loyalty from any demographic or base in the party. People don't care how much you know.

We got bright and brilliant people in leadership all across the country. Don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. And it just starts with something like that. When I was mayor of the city of Newark, my city, overwhelmingly the number one issue was crime. My pollsters said in all their life they have not seen a singular issue in my city.

So I said, look, I have a lot of great plans and ideas when I became mayor that were going to bend the violence curve and the crime curve. And we did. I'm really proud of a lot of progress we made. But I knew that from number one, my city needs to know I'm fighting for them. And so

As soon as I got elected, I said, I'm moving into the sector of the city with the most shooting, the most dangerous sector in the city by police statistics. I'm moving myself in there. And then I said, I'm going to work full time as your mayor from sunup to sundown. But in sundown, I'm going to get into a car with my security detail.

We're in charge of protecting me, but I'm going to start answering calls in the queue. I'm going to be doing patrols till four o'clock in the morning, the most dangerous areas. We just were out there chasing down literally in foot chases with a bank robber, you name it.

We knew that by the time the third month came in my mayorality, we saw that people got it in their gut that we were fighting for them. They saw me out there. They saw my priorities. They saw my focus. They understood that I was fighting for them.

A huge loss. Because people are hurting. And we have not yet. And by the way, I just want you to know, I don't want to discount the incredible things that happened in that election that don't get enough attention. Like I only saw once in my 12 years where a senator won in their state, where the president of the other party also won. That was Susan Collins. But we did it multiple places.
