Primary 2020: The Exchange Candidate Forums from NHPR - Cory Booker

Next Forum: Cory Booker on January 3

New Hampshire Public Radio, in collaboration with New Hampshire PBS, is holding a series of forums with presidential primary candidates to explore in-depth the issues that impact New Hampshire voters. Forums are open to the public, broadcast on NHPR live, and then broadcast on New Hampshire PBS.  

The next forum in the series will be with Cory Booker, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Prior forums included former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld on October 8, businessman Tom Steyer on October 28, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren on October 30, entrepreneur Andrew Yang on November 7, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg on December 6

Primary 2020: The Exchange Candidate Forums from NHPR will be broadcast live from NHPR’s Studio D in Concord. Laura Knoy, host of The Exchange, will be joined by Josh Rogers, senior political reporter and editor, as co-moderator of the forum with Senator Booker.

For this forum and for future forums, conversations with the candidates will touch on the economy, healthcare, education, climate change, public safety and foreign policy. Listeners are encouraged to submit their questions for the candidates in advance; public questions will help guide the interview and may be read by an NHPR host on-air.
