About this episode
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has a new book.
Unlike much of his public speaking of late – like his record-breaking 25-hour Senate floor speech – it isn’t directly about the politics of the current moment.
It’s an argument for civic ideals – for ten virtues he sees as critical to American life, like agency and patriotism, but also vulnerability and humility.
What does that mean for his political future? Sen. Booker addresses that question among others in our interview.
