Booker would not serve out the entirety of his second term. In 2013, after having won the October 16 special election for U.S. senator, Booker resigned as mayor and was sworn in on October 31 as the junior U.S. senator from New Jersey. Luis A. Quintana, long-term member of the Municipal Council, replaced him as interim mayor. In 2019, he mounted a campaign to participate in 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.
