Senators taking time to be in Washington to hear arguments for and against removing President Donald Trump from office could cause serious problems for the senators’ presidential campaigns, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said.

Booker told the Associated Press podcast on Wednesday that the Senate impeachment trial could inflict a “big, big blow” to his campaign.
