Senator delivers 18-hour speech in Trump protest

Gulf Today

April 02, 2025

New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker held the Senate floor with a marathon speech that lasted all night and into Tuesday afternoon in a feat of endurance to show Democrats' objections to President Donald Trump's sweeping actions.

Booker took to the Senate floor on Monday evening saying he would remain there as long as he was "physically able." More than 18 hours later, the 55-year-old senator, a former football tight end, was plainly exhausted but still going.

It was a remarkable show of stamina-among the longest in Senate history as Democrats try to show their frustrated supporters that they are doing everything possible to contest Trump's agenda.

"These are not normal times in our nation," Booker said as he launched into his speech.
