Senator Cory Booker delivered a marathon speech lasting over 23 hours on the Senate floor, aiming to rally opposition against former President Donald Trump and his influence.
The speech, which drew attention for its length and stamina, was supported by fellow senators and seen as a symbolic stand for progressive values.
