Many Democrats, including in Mr. Booker’s home state of New Jersey, reveled in his stamina and moxie as he assailed President Trump in the longest Senate speech on record.

Booker broke the record for the longest speech on the Senate floor, but it was not filibuster. A filibuster is a speech designed to delay or prevent a vote on a bill. Booker was not trying to prevent specific legislation from passing but was speaking to show Democrats' resistance to President Donald Trump.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour speech on the Senate floor this week grabbed headlines around the world and garnered positive reactions from his fellow Democrats in Maryland and scrutiny from Republicans.
