New Jersey approves 'Cory's law' to let Booker run for White House, Senate at same time

A new law has taken effect in New Jersey that will let anyone run simultaneously for the White House and Congress, a change that will benefit 2020 White House hopeful Cory Booker, D-N.J.

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed the measure into law on Thursday. The law is nicknamed "Cory's law" because it's widely expected to be used by Booker, who will also be up for re-election in the Senate in 2020.

The law makes it clear that anyone running for Congress and the White House won't face any legal challenges due to a state law that says no one is allowed to hold more than one state-wide office at a time, according to NJ.com.

Under the law, Booker could run for both, and if he runs for both and wins, he'd only have to give up his Senate seat to become the nation's commander in chief.

Republicans argued that Democrats opposed a similar change to the law when it was thought that Chris Christie might run for president while he was governor of the state.

A New Jersey state senator, Gerald Cardinale, told Politico that Booker should be brave enough to choose one race.

"Spartacus had the courage to make decisions," Cardinale told Politico, mocking Booker's self-referential claim that he was like Spartacus during Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's hearing for bringing up information that might hurt the nominee.

LOL. Awesome. Good luck running two campaigns at once. The likely outcome is losing both elections.

That retard probably has trouble running a teebee remote control. It's his handlers and backers that will profit from him holding higher office who will be the ones writing the scripts and running the shop.

Like Obomber,he will be nothing more than a talking head.

LOL.   The only thing standing between Booker and the title of stupidest man in the Senate is Bob Casey.

Cory Booker is as close to a bonafide Judeophile as you will ever find. In fact, when he was a student at Oxford University, he (improbably) became president of the L’chaim Society.

Senator Booker also gives a pretty good devar Torah.

But, here is why many Jews got very upset over that image.

Many Jews perceive that the left-wing of the Democratic Party is increasingly turning against Israel — or, at the very least, has become hyper-critical of Israeli policies.

I haven't read up on everything about Booker but he sounds like he is very anti-BDS (boycott, divest movement against) Israel.

Cory Booker was also besties with Rabbi Schmuley Boteach until two or three years ago. They had a huge falling out, I forgot why.

I am really surprised to hear this. Seems like most blacks are rabidly anti-Jewish,and it looks like this would cost him some support.

Well, the same Rabbi was friends with Michael Jackson up to his death. I think both men were studying the Kabbalah or something.
