Booker has almost $10.5 million banked for 2026

U.S. Senator Cory Booker has a massive $10,458,128 warchest for his 2026 re-election campaign after raising $749,498 in the third quarter of 2023.

Booker reported spending $456,862 between July 1 and September 30.  He transferred $340,00 to a different Booker campaign fund and has no debt.

The former Newark mayor, who has spent the last decade in the U.S. Senate, is a clear favorite to win his fourth statewide election when he seeks another term in 2026.

New Jersey has not elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1972, when Clifford Case won a fourth term against former Rep. Paul Krebs (D-Livingston).  Since then, 48 other states have elected a Republican U.S. Senator; only Hawaii has gone longer.

Booker is considered a likely candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028 and will want to spend as little as possible in three years to preserve his money for his national campaign.

His donors include actor Tova Feldshuh
