Alyssa Newcomb, ABC News:
Mayor Cory Booker said today he’s no hero and was just doing “what most neighbors would do” when he ran into a burning house to save a woman.
Booker recounted his “come to Jesus” moment today, just hours after he was released from the hospital, where he was treated for second-degree burns and smoke inhalation.
Whether the Newark, New Jersey mayor seeks a third term or opts instead for a gubernatorial run, I’d say he didn’t hurt his chances. The only thing that could have improved the story is if the rescued woman was a nun.
