## Transcript

New Jersey senator Cory Booker asked Mindy Kaling out on a date and she said yes. It all began when Mindy Kaling's character on a recent episode of her show The Mindy Project gave a dig at Newark New Jersey, as well as the city's former mayor and current New Jersey senator Cory Booker. After that show Booker twitted that Kaling with a link to a New York travel guide and told her that, he still loved her Mindy responded by saying, Senator, if Mindy Lahiri shades it, it means we know it's cool. Thanks for the love, it's mutual. Booker then replied, you're making my day! Thank for the clarification.

And if the love is really mutual, come have dinner with me in Newark? The actress said yes, then asked him for a train schedule. That train's official Twitter account was quick to respond and lend her a hand. Booker, however, said that while the train is great, she's Lyft worthy and he would send a car door to door.
