Noteworthy events

Speech sets U.S. Senate record

On the evening of March 31, 2025, Booker began a speech on the U.S. Senate floor that lasted for 25 hours and five minutes.^[25] According to the Associated Press, Booker stated he would continue speaking as "long as he was physically able."^[26] His speech established a new record for the longest ongoing floor speech in the Senate's history.^[27] The previous record was held by the former South Carolina Governor Sen. Strom Thurmond, who held the floor for 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957.^[28]

Booker's speech criticized the policies of President Donald Trump (R) enacted during the first 71 days of his second presidential term.^[29] In an interview with NPR on April 2, 2025, Booker stated that in his speech, "[he] tried as much as possible to frame my remarks, not about left or right, but right or wrong, that this was a moral moment because a lot of the policies—and I know this from talking to my Republican colleagues—are not widely agreed upon by either side. And, you know, a lot of things that [Trump is] doing that he didn't even run on." White House spokesperson Harrison Fields issued a statement saying, "Cory Booker is looking for another 'I am Sparticus' moment, but that didn't work for his failed presidential campaign, and it didn't work to block President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. When will he realize he's not Sparticus—he's a spoof?"^[29]
