More than 80 of Sen. Cory Booker\u2019s (D-N.J.) former campaign staff praised his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs alumni of your 2020 presidential campaign, we write today to express our gratitude for your response over the last 25 hours to the moment of crisis we are currently in,\u201d the staff wrote in a Monday letter to Booker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staff said it filled them with pride to see him rise and hold the Senate floor to highlight how the Trump administration\u2019s cuts to federal programs are impacting everyday Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker set the new record for the longest speech on the Senate floor, smashing the previously held record from 1957.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rose to speak at about 7 p.m. EDT Monday and did not stop for 25 hours and 4 minutes until he yielded on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The previous record was held by Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), who was speaking in opposition to the Civil Rights Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo hate him is wrong, and maybe my ego got too caught up that if I stood here, maybe, maybe just maybe, I could break this record of the man who tried to stop the rights upon which I stand,\u201d Booker said. \u201cI\u2019m not here though because of his speech. I\u2019m here despite his speech.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booker\u2019s staff said his speech showed the country the \u201cstark contrast\u201d to the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cmessages of fear.\u201d They thanked the senator for standing up for Americans and inspiring them in this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe stood with you during your campaign that called on the best in our fellow Americans, and we stand with you now,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
