In an absolutely delusional and thus extremely entertaining appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” far-left United States Senator from New Jersey Cory Booker, who is infamous for ridiculously referring to himself as “Spartacus” in one of his many meltdowns, declared that he thinks he can run for president and win in 2028.
For reference, Booker’s delusional ramble on MSNBC came in the context of the Democratic Party being somewhat adrift and certainly without a clear leader for its movement, as the collapse of Biden’s faction and the horrible performance of Kamala Harris during the 2024 election have left the party mostly headless. So, a number of figures are scrambling to get on top, as shown by AOC seemingly targeting Sen. Schumer’s New York US Senate seat.
So, Sen. Booker claimed to host Ari Melber that he has constituents who are begging him to save them from Republicans, an absolutely absurd claim, saying, “I was talking to just regular rank and file folks in New Jersey, and some of them Republicans who were saying, please do something to fight for us. Don’t let this happen.”
Continuing, the senator claimed that Republicans want to drive up healthcare costs for average Americans, saying, “So the line for me is very simple, I’m not going to give my vote away unless Republicans come to the table and say, we’re going to do something to stop this nightmare that many Americans are just realizing, because they’re just starting to get their notices that they’re that their health insurance premiums are going to double or triple.”
That’s when Melber brought up the presidential issue, asking, “Are you running for president again?” Sen. Booker, responding, first pretended to demur and not be interested in the idea, saying, kicking things off by taking the Lord’s name in vain, “God, brother, I am running for reelection about a year from now. So please, New Jersey, I hope I’ve earned your reelection. I hope your vote to to get another six year, another term in the Senate.”
Melber, not buying it, asked, “But after that?” And then that’s when Sen. Booker got to explaining that he is thinking about running and thinking that he can win, in the process saving America from the “crisis” that it faces. He began, “I’m not taking anything off the table. Our country is in crisis. And I think all leaders should not think about a title or a position.”
He continued, commenting on fighting for America in fashion as absurd as his infamous “Spartacus” comment, saying, “They should look at this very moment and say, it’s time for everybody to step up and serve with devotion to our country, to fight right now when our country is facing such a threat.”

Melber, unimpressed by Booker’s waffling nonsense and clear desire to run without admitting it, told him, “Well, you know, I don’t know if my legal training is up to these linguistic center, but not off the table is the road to on the table. So we’ll check in with you down that road.”
