Cory Booker’s record-setting speech protesting the Trump administration last spring caused his then-girlfriend some anxiety about his health.
Alexis Booker, in a TikTok a little over a year after the New Jersey senator took to the floor, revealed that her experience watching him break the Senate record was “an unbelievable, chaotic, and also very happy moment.” It also made her wonder what could happen while standing for so long without eating or drinking.
Sen. Booker’s speech ended up being 25 hours and five minutes, outlasting pro-segregation Sen. Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
