Cory Booker talks to Iowa consultants ahead of 2020

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is consulting with top-tier political strategists in Iowa who worked on both Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's presidential campaigns, CNBC reports.

Why it matters: Booker's early Iowa flirtations signal that he is indeed seriously considering launching a 2020 presidential campaign, perhaps wanting to get a head start over the rest of what is sure to be a packed Democratic field ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
