Sen. Cory Booker’s long Senate floor speech has passed the 18-hour mark, and it is starting to annoy Senate Republicans.
Booker has stated that he will hold the floor until he can no longer stand. Sen. Booker has been joined by fellow Senate Democrats like Tina Smith, Tammy Duckworth, and Chris Van Hollen, Chris Coons, Michael Bennet, Mark Warner, Elizabeth Warren, and others to protest Trump’s policies.
According to Sen. Booker’s office, hour 17 of speech saw the New Jersey senator talk about the harm that Trump’s policies is and will do to farmers, “17 hours into his long Senate floor speech, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) highlighted the chaos and uncertainty President Trump and Elon Musk are creating in rural America. Senator Booker detailed the destabilizing, devastating effects of Trump’s failure to honor existing USDA contracts and his cutting of programs that provided locally grown, nutritious food to schools and food banks. Senator Booker is also using his speech to uplift the stories of farmers who have been hurt by these policies.”
Senate Republicans are getting annoyed.

Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) marathon talkathon, which is stretching to 18 hours, is getting on some Republicans’ nerves. “Can someone tell Booker ain’t nobody listening,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) says as he walks into GOP lunch.
