Summary
Senator Cory Booker’s speech on TikTok live surpassed 350 million likes as he stood for over 25 hours speaking in the Senate chamber.
Booker broke Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest Senate speech, which lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957 to block civil rights legislation.
I suppose his speech could be seen as a shot across the bow of DNC leadership, but I’m not really that optimistic. Even if that’s what it is, waaay too little and waaay too late.
