Newark mayor Cory Booker sat down with The Daily Show on Wednesday night and potentially shed more light on his next political move.
Speaking with host Jon Stewart, mayor Booker talked about his personal and professional relationship with New Jersey’s Gov. Chris Christie.
“He (Gov. Christie) is a good conservationist, he’s a friend of mine, but there are definite policy differences that could provide a real reason to run,” said Booker.
Booker highlighted differences on key policies, saying that he agreed with Gov. Christie’s original stance of not raising taxes, but the governor’s change in actions has had him considering if it is worthy to run for the office.
