Senator Cory Booker delivered a marathon speech in the Senate lasting over 18 hours to protest against President Trump's sweeping policies. His speech, characterized by remarkable endurance, aimed to convey the seriousness of the current threats to American democracy and to demonstrate Democratic resolve to their supporters. Throughout his address, Booker criticized cuts to social safety programs and shared constituents' concerns about Trump's actions, including his controversial remarks about annexing Greenland. The speech garnered support from fellow Democrats who joined Booker in his efforts to oppose the administration's agenda.
These are not normal times in our nation, Booker said as he launched into his speech. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.
I hear you. I see you, and I'm standing here in part because of letters like yours, Booker said.
