Cory Booker Gets Standing Ovation For Breaking Record For Longest Senate Speech

Cory Booker just made history … and he’s getting recognized by his fellow Senators with a huge round of applause and a standing ovation.

The Senator from New Jersey has been giving a speech for over 24 hours on the Senate floor and he just broke a longstanding record for the longest Senate speech on record … resulting in cheers from his fellow Senate Democrats.

Booker is railing against all of the changes and upheaval from the second Donald Trump presidency … and Sen. Chuck Schumer briefly chimed in Tuesday to deliver Booker news of his record-setting performance.

Cory broke a record that stood for nearly 70 years … in 1957 Sen. Strom Thurman talked for 24 hours and 18 minutes in a rebuttal to the Civil Rights Act.

Booker’s been speaking since 7 PM ET Monday and he hasn’t left the Senate chamber or gone to the bathroom … he hasn’t eaten anything and has only consumed a little bit of water.
