Cory Booker made headlines in 2002 when, at the age of 32, he became one of the youngest people to run for mayor of Newark. Though he lost that first race, Booker went on to be the city’s mayor from 2006-2013, before becoming a U.S. Senator representing New Jersey. The former Stanford football player joins us to talk about his political career so far, his endorsement of Hillary Clinton, his new book, “United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good,” and what he thinks it will take to get both sides of the aisle working together.

Guests:

Cory Booker, U.S. Senator from New Jersey; former Mayor of Newark; author of "United: Thoughts on Finding Common Ground and Advancing the Common Good"
