Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey gave a speech on the Senate floor that resembled a filibuster, even though he was not actually obstructing any Trump nominees or proposed laws at the time. Nevertheless, the Democrats and the mainstream media treated it as such.
Many supporters were in awe of Booker’s endurance, with the Associated Press praising his marathon speech that lasted through the night and into the early hours of the morning. His goal was to voice the objections of Democrats against President Trump and his agenda.
Booker declared his intentions clearly at the start of his speech by expressing his aim to disrupt the usual Senate proceedings for as long as he could physically manage. He emphasized his belief that the country was facing a significant crisis, motivating his decision to take a stand.
