Cory Booker on the 2024 Election: 'This Is a David vs. Goliath Moment'

I don't think there's any debate about the energy behind the party or anyone who is debating it is in denial especially after that convention but as you know well from running close races it's going to be a close race and obviously the convention was energizing and joyful but conventions don't win elections so how are you hoping that the Democratic party that the campaign that you know State parties out there Channel this in the next couple of months yeah KLA Harris has positioned this right this is a David versus lith moment we are running as an underdog or as wal said using a football analogy uh we are three points down and the clock is running out we cannot afford to take any resting in a successful convention we have to press hard dig in and keep driving forward and that means that we need everybody some of the best reality of the convention is coming out of it we saw record donations from uh all types of Americans in fact nurses and teachers are amongst the most uh common contributors now uh to the Harris campaign we see volunteer shifts exploding more and more people understand that we have to work for this at every single step and a victory have to be earned so this is not a time to in any way rest everybody has to understand that democracy is not a spectator sport we need you on the field and real joy as you said earlier real enthusiasm real Joy is not letting despair have the last word not having letting Darkness or pessimism have the the last word let the last word be joyful work towards a goal that will Elevate I think all of America
