The social media has a strong influence on nearly every aspect of life. Cory Booker became a national figure well before being elected to the federal government owing to his effective and large scale use of social media. Termed as the folk hero, Booker has a total of 1.5 million followers on Twitter.
The reputation Booker has earned as a social media enthusiast is because of his constant interaction on nearly all the platforms and his first announcement on YouTube regarding his interest to explore a senate bid last year. He won the Democratic primary for the special election on Aug. 13, posting more than 100 times to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram throughout the day. He and his team were prolific with their social media posts during the election too, focusing mainly on tweets and retweets but not completely avoiding other networks.
Booker is currently beating Lonegan 55% to 44%, with nearly all precincts reporting, according to the Associated Press.The Wednesday elections (16th October 2013) have been so much of a test of all of its campaigns and the results of the test will only be declared once the total number of votes and polls are calculated.
