Cory Booker broke the record for the longest Senate filibuster ever, surpassing the late South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond 's speech opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1957 .

The New Jersey Democrat delivered a 25-hour filibuster speech on the Senate floor this week lambasting President Donald Trump 's administration.

It has led to some social media chatter about whether Booker could become a front-runner in the 2028 presidential primary.

Booker ran in the 2020 presidential primary but struggled to break through the crowded field of candidates.

He faces reelection in New Jersey , a state that shifted toward Republicans in 2024 .

Booker hasn't said he plans to run yet, but election forecaster Cook Political Report classifies the Senate race as "Solid Democrat ".
