Senator Cory Booker joined Pix11 to talk about the Trump shutdown, calling out Republican leaders for refusing to negotiate while millions of Americans faced skyrocketing health care costs. He said GOP attacks on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act would strip coverage from thousands in New Jersey and drive up premiums across the New York-Philly region. He also discussed New Jersey's gubernatorial race, praising Democrat Mikie Sherrill as a fighter who would stand up for the state and oppose Trump's harmful agenda.
