Earlier this week, American Senator Corey Booker stood on the floor of the House and broke the record for the longest Senate speech so far and spoke non-stop for 25 hours and 5 minutes. While the rules allow members to speak until they want, until they stop or sit, the 55 -year -old New Jersey Democrat started his speech on ET at 7 pm on Monday and did not stop until Tuesday night.

Neither Booker took a break to eat, sit, drink or use bathroom.

Booker later said in an interview with CNN, “I think it had good and bad benefits. I certainly started cramps with water shortage.” “Finally, I was just trying to do something to stop my muscles from cramps,” he said.

The Booker, who had talked about the loss, see that the Trump administration was provoking the nation, said that his intention was to disrupt the general Senate business until he could, because “these are not normal times in our nation. And they should not be considered so in the United States Senate.”
