Скачать или смотреть Cory Booker’s Marathon Floor Speech | Longest in Senate History on Trump & America’s Moral Moment

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) held the Senate floor with a marathon speech that began at 7pm Monday March 31st, 2025 and lasted until Tuesday night, April 1st 2025. After 25 hours and 5 minutes speaking directly to the American people, Senator Booker broke the record for longest individual floor speech ever delivered, surpassing the previous record set by Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Yesterday, Senator Booker took to the Senate floor with the intention of speaking as long as he was physically able to uplift the stories of Americans who are being harmed by the Trump Administration’s reckless actions, attempts to undermine our institutions, and disregard for the rule of law.

Here’s a look at Booker’s speech, by the numbers:
