Cory Booker Emerges Again as a Central Force in New Jersey Politics — and Beyond

While Cory Booker has not announced any plans beyond his Senate term, his visibility and growing influence in 2025 have fueled speculation about his future — whether it’s a leadership role within the Senate, a possible Cabinet position in a future administration, or another run for national office.

But one thing is clear — twenty minutes, twenty days, or twenty years from now, Cory Booker remains a defining figure in the conversation about where New Jersey — and America — is headed next.
