Cory Booker's Dating Life: Rosario Dawson Linked To Possible 2020 Presidential Candidate

There is a high possibility that Cory Booker will run for the presidency in 2020, Page Six reported Tuesday after the New Jersey senator was spotted visiting a law firm in Midtown. A source reportedly said during the meeting he dropped a big hint about his plans to seek a Democratic nomination for 2020.

“A lawyer invited him to visit her firm,” a source told Page Six, “and he replied, ‘You only want me now that I’m about to run for president.’"

Amid the rumors of Booker's upcoming announcement about the 2020 race for the office, there are other rumors about his dating life as well.

According to reports earlier this month, Booker and “Rent” star Rosario Dawson have been dating at least since December. The duo sparked dating rumors after they were seen together attending the Broadway hit "Dear Evan Hansen." E! News reported that they were also accompanied by some family members, including Dawson's daughter and Booker's niece.

Page Six reported earlier this month that this was the second outing for the rumored couple. They were also spotted together at the movies in New York City recently.

Dawson is not the only one Booker has been linked to in the recent past. Reports surfaced in October 2018 that Booker has been in an on-off relationship with a woman named Chanda Gibson, who worked with him on his 2002 mayoral campaign.

"No one could understand why he told her their relationship is secret," a source reportedly said.

Booker, who has never been married, also had a brief flirting session with Mindy Kaling on Twitter in March 2017. It is unclear if the two dated.

The senator has been expected to jump into the presidential race in the coming weeks, and according to reports, his aides have already put in place a campaign framework.

There are several leaders in the community who are supporting Booker for a presidential bid. During a rally for New Orleans schoolchildren last week, Rep. Cedric Richmond, the most recent former chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, led a chant of "run, Cory, run!" before Booker took the stage.

"But I think (Booker) should run," Richmond told CNN. "I think he brings energy, I think he talks to a different generation. I think he brings excitement, I think he brings experience."

African-American voters "are looking for someone who understands their struggle, one," said Richmond, "and two, I think they're looking for someone who can win. There is a real fear of (President Donald) Trump winning a second term."
