Years before Bill Stepien became one of Trump’s top political advisers, he helped launch a behind-the-scenes effort backing an underdog Democratic candidacy: Cory Booker’s bid to become Newark mayor
Years before Bill Stepien became one of Donald Trump’s top political advisers, he helped launch a behind-the-scenes effort backing an underdog Democratic candidacy: Cory Booker’s bid to become Newark mayor.
Those alliances helped him become a rising political star and in-demand guest speaker — but haven’t helped him in a crowded primary field fueled in part by anger and a resurgent progressive wing of the Democratic Party, as his poll numbers remain in the single-digits. Booker maintained a warm relationship with Christie, who, like him was a big believer in expanding charter schools. He refused to criticize Christie during the Bridgegate scandal or when Christie became the most unpopular governor in state history.
Though James and Booker are Democrats, and Newark is overwhelmingly Democratic, its municipal races are technically nonpartisan. But the PAC spent about $15,000, mostly on mailers aimed at helping turn out Newark’s several thousand registered Republican voters for Booker.
