Cory Booker said Thursday that he won’t qualify for the Democratic debate on Dec. 19 — but insisted he still had a path to “victory” despite anemic fundraising and a stagnant standing in the polls.

“Today is the deadline for the DNC’s December debate qualifying threshold — and while I may not be on the debate stage next Thursday, thanks to the outpouring of support over the past few weeks, we know there’s a path to victory, and we no longer need the debate stage to get there,” the New Jersey senator tweeted.

In a follow-up post, he asserted he was in the race to win.

“I’m not sticking around for vanity or ego — I’m in this to win it because I believe I’m the best candidate to beat Donald Trump and lead this country to higher ground,” he wrote.

A Quinnipiac University poll Tuesday showed that just 1 percent of voters preferred Booker among the other candidates.

Booker campaign manager Addisu Demissie told reporters that the ongoing impeachment proceedings would be the senator’s top priority going forward.

“We will build our entire campaign around that. We don’t really know how long it’s going to be … so we’re staying flexible in that regard,” Demissie said, according to the AP.

Booker raised more than $6 million in the third quarter, but his fundraising still lags behind the front-runners in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, including Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

To qualify for the debate, candidates must reach 4 percent backing in at least four national or early-state polls or 6 percent support in at least two early-state polls from qualified pollsters.

Candidates must also have at least 200,000 unique donors, including at least 800 donors in at least 20 states or territories.

Biden, Sanders, Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer and Andrew Yang all qualified. Tulsi Gabbard also didn’t make the cut.

Hosted by “PBS NewsHour” and Politico, the debate will be staged at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and will be aired on PBS and most cable news networks and websites.
