Sen. Cory Booker is kicking off his first visit to New Hampshire with a personal touch, sharing his family's story with about 100 voters in the Democratic-leaning town of Portsmouth.
Booker is one of five sitting Democratic senators already running in the jam-packed 2020 presidential primary, but his optimistic message of unity promises to set him apart from others in the field.
He recalled his parents' struggle to buy a home in a majority-white neighborhood in New Jersey in 1969 and urged the crowd to "put that indivisible back in this one nation under God."
Booker is set to make five more stops during three days in New Hampshire, which casts the first votes in the 2020 primary next year.

Five Democratic senators vying for their party's nomination to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020 are fanning out across the country Saturday to campaign and meet voters.
Kamala (KAH'-mah-lah) Harris of California is spending her second straight day in the pivotal early-voting state of South Carolina. That's where Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is starting out before heading to Georgia — an unusual stop for a presidential candidate this early in the election cycle.
Cory Booker of New Jersey and Kirsten Gillibrand (KEER'-sten JIHL'-uh-brand) of New York have events planned in another critical early-voting state, New Hampshire.
Amy Klobuchar (KLOH'-buh-shar) of Minnesota is also making an uncommon choice for early campaigning by visiting Wisconsin before going to Iowa, home to the nation's leadoff caucuses.
