New Jersey Senator Cory Booker made a historic stand on the Senate floor for over 25 hours, challenging President Trump's policies and showing resistance from the Democratic party. His long speech aimed to illustrate their commitment to their supporters amid frustration with Trump's agenda. During his record-breaking filibuster, Booker highlighted issues such as Social Security cuts and quoted constituents on pressing national concerns, while evoking his own heritage to underscore the importance of collective strength against political power.
I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful.
It was a remarkable show of stamina as Democrats try to show their frustrated supporters that they are doing everything possible to contest Trump's agenda.
By standing on the Senate floor for more than a night and day and refusing to leave, he had broken a record set 68 years ago.
Booker slammed cuts to Social Security offices led by Trump adviser Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
