Senator Cory Booker made headlines by talking nonstop for over 25 hours in the Senate. This broke the old record held by a senator who fought against civil rights. But Booker’s marathon speech didn’t stop any bills or change any laws. It was mostly a show.
Booker spent hours attacking President Trump’s plans for taxes, energy, and the border. He stood the whole time without food, water, or bathroom breaks. Some Democrats cheered him on, calling it brave. But conservatives saw it as political theater.
The New Jersey senator tried to compare himself to civil rights heroes. Yet his speech had no real power. Republicans control Congress and the White House. Democrats can’t block much. This grandstanding just made Booker look desperate for attention.
Booker’s team bragged about the stunt online. They posted clips on TikTok and cheered his “strength.” But critics called it a waste of time. The Senate has real work to do, not silly speaking contests.
The senator even joked about his own love for talking. That’s no surprise. Liberals love hearing themselves speak more than getting results. Meanwhile, Trump’s policies keep moving forward.
Booker talked about “new leaders” stepping up. But all he did was complain. Conservatives know actions matter more than words. Real leadership means fixing problems, not filibustering.
In the end, Booker got his media moment. He broke a record, but so what? The American people need solutions, not showboats. This speech won’t change anything. It’s just another example of Democrats putting drama over duty.
