Cory Booker, the Democratic senator from New Jersey, delivered an extraordinary marathon speech in the Senate, lasting over 12 hours, to underscore what he perceives as an urgent crisis for American democracy under Donald Trump’s administration. He passionately voiced concerns fueled by stories from his constituents about fear and instability resulting from the administration's policies. Booker's speech is a critique of recent actions taken by the Trump administration, including spending cuts and threats to educational institutions, warning of grave threats to democracy that require immediate attention and action.
I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our nation is in crisis.
These are not normal times in America and they should not be treated as such.
