Booker alone among Democratic candidates in calling Iran deal 'mistake'

Sen. Cory Booker is alone at the Democratic presidential debate in calling it a "mistake" to sign onto the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran.

 

The New Jersey senator was the only one of the 10 candidates on stage in Miami on Wednesday not to raise his hand when asked if he supported the deal. Under the agreement, Iran agreed to limit its enrichment of uranium and submit to U.N. inspections in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

 

Pressed to explain his rationale, Booker said as president he would "do the best I can to secure this country."
