    Booker has said in recent weeks that it was flattering to be mentioned but that he wasn’t being vetted.

    Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Booker now says “If you have a question like that, please direct it to the Clinton campaign.”

    It’s possible that Democrats won’t want Booker plucked from his Senate seat: New Jersey’s Republican governor, Chris Christie, would pick Booker’s replacement if he leaves for the White House. Democrats are hoping to win the majority in the Senate this election and might not want to take that chance.

    Given the narrow balance in the Senate, I would prefer Booker and Warren be left in place.

    In my books, Booker is finished since he was stupid enough to back the Iran nuclear deal.
