On Thursday, Democratic Presidential hopeful Cory Booker revealed to the world that he has been quietly dating actress Rosario Dawson for some time.

The actress and activist confirmed the news, saying things have been “So far, so wonderful. He’s a wonderful human being. It’s good to spend some time together when we can. We’re very busy.”

While she’s been an ardent supporter of Booker rival Bernie Sanders, we’re pretty sure she will be supporting her boyfriend instead as he attempts to secure the nomination for 2020.

Almost immediately, people began discussing the news and what an impact they could have together.

Their announcement got us thinking about some of America’s other political power couples through the years. Check them out in the gallery above.
