New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker held the Senate floor for 25 hours, thanking his colleagues. Booker took to the Senate floor on Monday evening, saying he would remain there as long as he was “physically able.” It wasn't until more than 25 hours later that the 55-year-old senator, a former football tight end, finished speaking and walked off the floor. It set the record for the longest continuous Senate floor speech in the chamber’s history, though Booker was assisted by fellow Democrats who gave him a break from speaking by asking him questions on the Senate floor. "I want to redeem the dream. Let's be bold in America. Not to be mean and demean Americans ... not divide us against each other. Let's be bolder in America. With a vision that inspires with hope that starts with people of the United States of America. That's how this country started. We the people. Let's get back to the ideals while others are threatening. Let's get back to our founding documents. Those imperfect geniuses had some very special words at the end of the Declaration of Independence. Once of the greatest in humanity, of declarations of interdependence. When our founders said we must mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. We need that now. From all Americans. This is a moral moment. It's not left or right, it's right or wrong. Let's get in good trouble. My friend, Madame President ... I yield the floor."
