Newark Mayor Cory Booker To Run For Senate In 2014

This ends speculation that he would challenge Governor Chris Christie.

Booker, long considered the Democrats’ best hope to beat Christie in 2013, could now face U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg in a 2014 Democratic primary, although it is unclear what Lautenberg plans to do.

The decision by Booker essentially reshapes the field of Democrats who will now take a shot at the popular Republican governor. Christie’s post-Sandy polling numbers are virtually unmatched in a state with roughly 700,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.
