The senator has reached the 200,000 unique donor threshold, but has yet to meet the polling requirements.
“Cory 2020 isn’t leaving poll qualification up to margins of error or fate,” Booker campaign manager Addisu Demissie wrote in a memo to supporters Tuesday. “With the 200,000 unique donor threshold now met, we are reorienting our entire campaign apparatus into a persuasion effort designed to further elevate the message Cory’s been committed to this entire campaign and reach the voters we need to meet the polling threshold.”
The debate location was moved earlier this month after local labor officials raised concerns about its prior location at the University of California, Los Angeles.
