On March 31, 2025, Cory Booker began what became the longest Senate speech in U.S. history. Speaking for just over 25 hours, he protested the economic policies of Pres. Donald Trump by sharing stories of Americans adversely affected by them. His speech surpassed the record set by Sen. Strom Thurmond in 1957.
