Newark, NJ — Ready for a nightcap? Enjoy this midnight dispatch from Iowa, where Cory Booker brought attendees of the Iowa Democratic Party Liberty and Justice Celebration to their feet by making the case that Democrats must come together to do more than just beating Donald Trump. If you went to bed early, you missed a standout speech from Booker:

@ErinDMurphy: Standing ovation from what's left of the #LJ19 crowd for @CoryBooker who combines a staple of his, "We will rise!" with the last words spoken to him by his political hero, Frank Hutchens: "I see you. I love you." "Iowa: I see you. I love you. We will rise!" Crowd loves it.
