A new super PAC plans to spend $1 million to help Cory Booker as he struggles to gain traction in the Democratic race for president, with the immediate goal of helping the New Jersey Democrat make the cut for the December debate stage.
United We Win, which was formed Wednesday with the backing of New Jersey-based Democratic donors and consultants,"is supported by individuals who know Cory and have seen the transformative impact that has been made by his leadership and dedication to doing what's right, from Newark to Washington," said Philip Swibinski, a spokesperson for the group. The super PAC made a splash Thursday with an initial digital ad buy of more than $154,000 nationally.
A Booker campaign aide said Thursday that his position toward super PACs has not changed. However, it's not clear how aggressively Booker, who has struggled to raise money and his profile, would reject such a boost at this stage -- particularly from a group steered by close allies. United We Win is backed by supporters in the orbit of New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, said a source familiar with the group.
