The Next US President Could Be A Vegan!

The 59th United States presidential election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

While the current US President, Donald Trump, will compete to secure another term for himself and the Republican Party, there are several Democrats announcing their presidential campaigns.

One presidential hopeful is vegan advocate and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.

Booker, 49, announced his bid to unseat Donald Trump last Friday.

The outspoken social justice advocate, who has been a vegan since 2014 often shares pro-vegan posts on Instagram and Twitter, asking his combined follower base of over 4.5 million to be kind to everyone.

In a recent interview with VegNews, he stated:

“The tragic reality is this planet simply can’t sustain billions of people consuming industrially produced animal agriculture because of environmental impact.”

Booker is viewed by political analysts as a potential top-tier contender for the nomination. 

With an already pro-vegan Canadian Prime Minister (Justin Trudeau), Cory Booker getting elected as POTUS will only mean more power to veganism in North America and subsequently the world.

With Booker's announcing his bid, the 2020 US election just got a lot more interesting for vegans around the world! 

Do you think being a vegan can help the 49-year-old Democrat secure the votes of fellow vegans and animal rights activists?
