Booker, who is seeking re-election this year, was asked by Jaime Harrison on his podcast Tuesday about whether he would launch another presidential campaign, considering 2028 was “right around the corner.”
“I know the folks in Jersey would love to have a president who’s from New Jersey,” Harrison said.

Booker’s comments on Harrison’s podcast came after Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., told the BBC Monday night that he was also “seriously” considering a presidential run in 2028.
