Obama Campaign disses Newark Mayor Cory Booker
After miscue, refined role for Booker
Since Mayor Cory Booker called attacks on private equity “nauseating,” he hasn’t appeared once on national television as a surrogate for President Barack Obama. At the Democratic National Convention next month, one of the party’s rising stars won’t have a headlining speaking role.
Mr. Booker has moved to a mostly off-camera role for the president’s campaign after his unscripted remarks on May 20 about ads Mr. Obama was running about Bain Capital, the former company of presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
But the Newark mayor also remains a force for Mr. Obama, campaigning for the president in Michigan last week, hosting Democratic fundraisers and helping to draft the party’s platform for the convention in Charlotte, N.C. (Haddon, The Wall Street Journal)
