WASHINGTON (AP) – Democratic Senator in New Jersey Cori Booker, the Senate, was held with the marathon speech, which lasted all night until Tuesday afternoon in an end to the endeavor to show the Democrats’ objections to President Donald Trump’s actions.
Booker moved to the Senate Hall on Monday evening, saying that he would stay there as long as he was “physically capable”. After more than 20 hours, the 55 -year -old Senator, a previous football end, was clearly exhausted but still continuing. It was a great offer of endurance – among the longest in the history of the Senate – where Democrats are trying to show their frustrated supporters that they are doing everything they can compete for the Trump agenda.
“These are not normal times in our nation,” said Booker, calling in his speech. “They should not be dealt with this way in the Senate in the United States. The threats threatened by the American people and American democracy are dangerous and urgent, and we must all do more to stand against them.”
Sometimes, then a Booker tends, then tends to the trading platform, for hours against social security offices led by the Ministry of Governmental efficiency of Trump’s adviser, Elon Musk. Trump’s early effects have been included and talked about fears that the broader cuts of the Social Safety Network may be coming, although Republican lawmakers say the program will not be touched.
Booker also read what he said were letters from the voters, wearing reading glasses and wandering them. One of the writers was concerned about the Republican President’s talk about the annexation of Greenland and Canada and “a constitutional crisis looming on the horizon.”
Throughout the day on Tuesday, Booker won the help of Democratic colleagues, who gave him a break from speaking to ask him and praises his performance. Booker resulted in questions, but made sure that he would not abandon the ground. He remained standing to comply with the rules of the Senate.
“Your strength, your stability, your clarity was not less than an amazing mere and all America pays attention to what you say,” said the Democratic Leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer asking a question in the Senate Hall. “Each of America needs to know that there are many problems and catastrophic actions of this administration.”
When Booker stood for an hour after hour, he seemed to have no more than cups of water to keep it. However, his voice became strong with emotion, as his speech extended to the afternoon, and members of the House of Representatives stood from the black gathering in Congress on the edge of the Senate to support Booker.
“Moments like this requires being more creative or more creative, or more stable, smuggling and firmly,” Booker said.
On Tuesday afternoon, tens of thousands of people were watching on the Booker page on the Senate on YouTube, as well as on other direct flows.
Democrats, as well as Booker’s cousin and his brother, watched the room exhibition. Senator Chris Murphic Baker was accompanied in the Senate Hall throughout the day and night. Murphy was restoring the company that Booker gave him in 2016 when Democrat was held in Connecticut for approximately 15 hours to argue with arms control legislation.
The record for the longest individual speech belongs to Strom Thurmond in South Carolina, who fell for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the 1957 Civil Rights Law, according to the Senate Records. With the outbreak of 20 hours, Booker’s speech was the fifth longest in the history of the Senate.
Another Senator Sinter has spoke for a longer period. In 2013, Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican in Texas, held the floor for 21 hours and 19 minutes to compete for the law of reasonable prices.
Booker has repeatedly called the Commander of Civil Rights John Lewis from Georgia on Tuesday, on the pretext that overcoming opponents such as Thormond will require more than just speaking.
“You think we have obtained civil rights one day because Strem Throng – after overcoming 24 hours – you think we got civil rights because he came to the ground one day and said:” I have seen the light. “No, we got civil rights because people went for that, and sweating for that and John Lewis bleed.”
Booker’s speech was not a speech, a speech aimed at stopping the progress of specific legislation. Instead, Booker’s performance was a wider criticism of the Trump business schedule, aimed at suspending the Senate’s work and drawing attention to what Democrats are doing to compete for the president. Without a majority in any of the Congress room, Democrats were almost completely held from the legislative authority but resorted to procedural maneuvers to try to thwart Republicans.
Booker spends his second term in the Senate. He was a failed presidential candidate in 2020, when he launched his campaign from the steps of his home in Newark. He went out after struggling to obtain a foothold in a crowded field, and they are less than the threshold to meet in a discussion in January 2020.
However, while Democrats are looking for the next generation of leadership, who are loved by the two old positions at the top, the Booker speech can enhance its position as a leading figure in the party’s opposition to Trump.
Even before moving to the national political stage, Booker was considered a rising star in the Democratic Party in New Jersey, where he served as the mayor of Newark, the largest city in the state, from 2006 to 2013.
During the college, he played a narrow end for the Stanford University football team. He became a researcher in Rhodes and graduated from Yale University before he started his career as a lawyer for non -profit organizations.
He was first elected to the US Senate in 2013 during a special election conducted after the death of the current Democrat Frank Lottenberg. He won his first full period in 2014 and re -elected in 2020.
While Democratic colleagues made their way to the Senate Chamber to help Booker by asking him, he also recovered my heartfelt colleagues, and remembers their personal backgrounds and joint experiences in the Senate. Booker also called on the Americans to respond not only to the resistance of Trump’s actions but with kindness to those in their societies.
Booker said: “I may be afraid – my voice may shake – but I will talk more,” Booker said.
