5:40 p.m.
Sen. Cory Booker didn’t discuss any 2020 ambitions in his speech at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s post-midterm victory celebration.
Booker is headlining the event Saturday in Manchester, saying the country needs “courageous actors who call to the conscience of our country.”
The jam-packed two-day trip is thought by some to be a tune up for the New Jersey Democrat’s potential presidential campaign.
The likely presidential contender is also set to speak at activists’ gatherings in Nashua, Concord and Keene.
Booker kicked off his trip at a Nashua café, greeting and taking selfies with breakfast customers.
Booker, who says he’ll assess over the holidays whether or not he launches a White House campaign, tells the Associated Press that the trip is “really helpful to me in understanding what a potential presidential campaign would be about.”

Cory Booker is returning to the first-in-the-nation primary state for a trip that could turn out to be a tuneup for the New Jersey senator’s potential Democratic presidential campaign.
Booker’s been invited by the New Hampshire Democratic Party to headline their post-midterm election victory celebration Saturday in Manchester. He’ll also be the main attraction at house parties in Concord, Nashua, and Keene.
Booker’s said repeatedly in recent weeks that he’ll take the holiday season to assess whether he launches a White House campaign.
The visit is Booker’s second to New Hampshire in two months. He campaigned with now-Congressman-elect Chris Pappas and gubernatorial nominee Molly Kelly at a rally at the University of New Hampshire, and with Congresswoman Annie Kuster at Dartmouth College in late October, shortly before the midterm elections.
