anybody who s campaigned in places like iowa sees how strong our campaign is on the ground. we are number two or three i think in that favorability in a state where people haven t made their choices, but at the top of the field endorsements. we ve got another county chair person endorsing our campaign. our campaign is strong. and remember john kerry, john edwards were polling at 4%, 2%, 6 and 7 in the field and one month later they went onto finish one and two in the caucuses. it s the kind of thing we re thriving on, and we need help. we need people going to cory booker,.com. but if they continue to do that we ll have our best online fund-raising of the campaign. we ll continue to build and build here to compete with people who don t have a lot more money but have our field operation. i hear optimism where you re headed but your presence or lack thereof was noticed at the
have had on that stage. and right up to that moment it s his most solid debate yet. and i hate to do this. we need to catch a break here. when we come back guess who s standing by to talk to chris matthews. one cory booker of the great state of new jersey. when i was mayor of the largest city in my state, this is where i agree with mayor pete. mayoral experience is very important. and i happen to be the other rhodes scholar mayor on this stage.
substantive debate for cory booker. if the debates move poll numbers, then cory booker s poll numbers should move tonight. if this doesn t move the poll numbers for cory booker, i don t know what can. and kamala harris also, who had her poll numbers really pop because of a debate, because of that debate where she went after joe biden, she also had her most solid debate since that one. and then there s the biden debate, which was scored as a kind of flawlessly solid debate for him until yeah. this colossal gaffe where it s a gaffe unlike any other i ve seen in a debate performance because it s literally about a person who is standing on the stage, who he in this moment has forgotten exists. and he s referring to when he s making his point that he has a very important presidential endorsement from what he said was the only black woman elected to the united states senate, and he meant the
i m not the only one $200,000 coming to our we just need help sxwlp we just don t have time. cory booker. you inspired us tonight. back to you, brian. thank you, senator. thank you, chris. and over to steve kornacki at the board. steve, it s as if we planned it this way. look at where you have numbers from tonight. all this talk about black support in south carolina in particular. let s take a look at what the numbers say. this is the latest south carolina poll. came out just this week. this is the overall number. you see biden continuing to lead in the state. you see kamala harris 6%. by the way, you don t see cory booker even registering here. that s his support level in south carolina. but take a look at the breakdown white versus black. remember, almost 2/3 of the electorate in south carolina next year on the democratic side will be african-american. this is what it looks like among white voters but check out among black voters. joe biden, this has been the story all year
