Cory Booker's nearest audiences are split almost evenly between journalists and fellow politicians — a mix that defines the cluster's character more than any single standout neighbor.
The shape is flat: the top 10 scores run from Charles M. Blow at 0.98 down to Maya Harris at 0.97, a band of less than 0.02 across all ten positions. No single neighbor pulls away from the pack. Within that band, journalists account for four of the ten slots — Yamiche Alcindor (0.98), Van Jones (0.97), and Abby D. Phillip (0.97) alongside Blow — while politicians account for three: Stacey Abrams (0.98), Nancy Pelosi (0.97), and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (0.97). The remaining three positions go to an activist — Sherrilyn Ifill (0.97) — and two professionals, Maya Harris (0.97) and one other. No media brands, comedians, or non-political organizations appear in the top 10.
The tight, journalism-and-politics composition of this cluster suggests an audience whose attention is organized around political news consumption as much as around political figures themselves.
