Senator Booker Breaks Record For Longest Known Senate Speech
April 1, 2025, Washington, District Of Columbia, USA: United States Senator CORY BOOKER, 55, (New Jersey - Democrat) sets the record for the longest speech in Senate history Tuesday night in marathon remarks that began Monday evening and tore into what he called the Trump administration’s “grave and urgent” threat to the country. Booker, D-N.J., surpassed the previous record of 24 hours, 18 minutes set in 1957 by Sen. Thurmond, D-S.C., with a speech that clocked in at 25 hours, 4 minutes. When he broke the record at 7:19 p.m. ET, Booker was met with raucous applause from Democratic colleagues in the Senate, and one Republican, Sen. Lummis, Wyo. At 7:45 p.m., Booker said he would 'stop soon,' and he finally concluded at 8:04 p.m. 'This is a moral moment. It’s not left or right; it’s right or wrong. Let's get in good trouble,' Booker said as he concluded his remarks and was met by a standing ovation from Senate colleagues. 'I yield the floor.' Democratic lawmakers have been facing pressure from their constituents to respond more forcefully to the Trump administration’s sweeping policy changes, including massive cuts to the federal workforce, ramped-up deportations and sweeping tariffs. Booker's remarks clearly resonated with many who watched them. A live feed of the speech on the senator's TikTok account had more than 220 million likes by early Tuesday night, before he exceeded 24 hours on the floor (Credit Image: © US Senate TV/CNP via ZUMA Press Wire)
