Booker declared in an X post last month that "ICE really does need to be abolished."
In another post, he wrote, "It really is a damn shame that we still don’t have universal healthcare in the U.S. of America. We need Medicare for All."
His latest bid may be a long shot. Kentuckians have not had a Democrat representing them in the Senate so far during the 21st century.
It is Booker's third run for Senate.

In September, Booker announced, "For over two years, I have had the distinct honor of serving the people of Kentucky in the office of Governor Andy Beshear.
"I am humbled and excited to announce that today was officially my last day."
The Booker campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
