WASHINGTON — Charles Booker still says he’s going to defeat Rand Paul and deliver “the shocker of the 2022 election cycle.”
It’s just hard to find Democrats who echo his prediction or much evidence that it should be taken seriously.
Now under a week until Election Day, Booker has not amassed the money necessary for television advertising. He’s not attracted the attention of national Democrats, whose focus has been trained in battlegrounds from Pennsylvania to Nevada. And he’s not even been able to draw Paul into a substantive fight over the issues, with the two-term incumbent Republican avoiding a debate.
