Sen. Cory A. Booker said Thursday that Democrats need to not only convince Americans to support presumptive presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden, but to also actually participate in the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the biggest persuasion we need is to convince people to come out and vote in the first place,\u201d the New Jersey Democrat said on ABC\u2019s \u2018Good Morning America.\u2019 \u201cApathy is one of the greatest enemies of democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Booker said Mr. Biden needs to \u201cbe a healer\u201d in his last speech Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n

The senator is hoping to help with that message, as the DNC convention wraps up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe we\u2019re at a point in America where we need to \u2026 generate a revival of civic grace,\u201d Mr. Booker said.<\/p>\n

Mr. Booker said he\u2019s concerned about much of President Trump\u2019s behavior leading up to the election, included recent policy changes at the Postal Service, but believes Americans can \u201cpress on.\u201d<\/p>\n
