Trump had been tweeting about Booker earlier, calling him a "total loser" and "failed presidential candidate." The president began lashing out at Booker after he questioned Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
At Wednesday's Iowa rally, Trump said, "We're not gonna destroy the American dream for stupid people like Cory Booker ... yeah, he did a great job as mayor of Newark, New Jersey. That worked out. How's Newark doing?"
Booker shot back on Twitter, "Stop attacking Newark and do your damn job, @realDonaldTrump."
Booker's chief of staff Matt Klapper mocked Trump for calling the senator "stupid."
