Democratic senator Cory Booker delivered a marathon speech on the Senate floor, using Hebrew to protest against US President Donald Trump. Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, aimed to rally opposition to Trump and demonstrate his party's ability to take bold action. He recited a litany of criticisms of the Trump administration before quoting a biblical verse. Booker's speech is not a filibuster, but it delayed Senate operations and is approaching the record length of a Senate speech set in 1957. Booker has been standing without interruption since he began speaking.
