WASHINGTON _ Cory Booker has set himself apart from the 2020 Democratic presidential field with a decidedly positive and unifying message, evoking the hope-and-change campaign of Barack Obama.
Brady Quirk-Garvan was so inspired by it that he resigned from his post as the chair of the Charleston County Democrats in South Carolina to endorse the New Jersey senator, confident that his approach was the best way to defeat a divisive figure like President Donald Trump.
"Barack Obama won by talking about hope and change. Bill Clinton won by talking about the promise of the 21st century," said Quirk-Garvan, who worked on Obama's 2008 campaign. "Democrats win when we talk about laying out a positive vision for the future."
