Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said that he’s concerned the next Democratic presidential debate could lack diversity after Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) dropped out of the 2020 race on Dec. 3.

So far, six candidates have qualified: billionaire Tom Steyer, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
