Cory Booker: “Donald Trump, who is this accelerant, has said, you know…”

“And it was in the Senate and the House, a party line vote. Democrats all voted. Let's get rid of partisan gerrymandering. Republicans all voted for it. And Donald Trump, who is this accelerant, has said, you know what? We're not only going to partisan gerryman, but we're going to unleash upon this country this race to the bottom so that I can try to fix an election that I can't win fairly. And so we have to again see this as more than just Democrat or Republican. This is a movement yet again for the soul of our country, for the strength of our democracy.” (09:25–09:39)
