“I think Cory Booker often sounds like a Hallmark card and not necessarily a person who is there to tell you everything he’s accomplished,” Conway said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”

“As a person who grew up in New Jersey and raised my children there before we moved here, I don’t know what’s in Sen. Booker’s record that he’s going to be able to point to and say ‘let me bring this to the entire nation,’ ” she added.

Conway’s comments followed shortly after Booker announced that he is running for president in 2020.

Booker’s highly anticipated announcement came on the first day of Black History Month. 

“I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten, no one is left behind; where parents can put food on the table; where there are good-paying jobs with good benefits in every neighborhood; where our criminal justice system keeps us safe, instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins; where we see the faces of our leaders on television and feel pride, not shame,” he said in announcing his candidacy.

Booker, who had long teased a possible 2020 run, began calling fellow lawmakers, including senior members of the Congressional Black Caucus of which he is a member, to drum up support.
