25 Hours of speaking on the floor of the Senate could do that…..
Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-N.J.) record-breaking Senate speech this week is putting him squarely in the political spotlight as Democrats wonder whether he could be a presidential contender in 2028.
Booker’s 25-hour speech aimed at combating President Trump’s moves in the White House gave Democrats a boost, especially as the party did better than expected in two Florida House races and saw a liberal candidate easily win a Wisconsin Supreme Court contest.
At a time when Democrats have been down in the dumps after losing the White House and Senate majority to Republicans — and as the party has been divided over how best to battle Trump — Booker’s speech provided a spark of enthusiasm for rank-and-file party members and his own colleagues.
“He’s a leader. He knows he’s a leader. What he did … puts him in a position to be an even more impactful voice, and that is really, really good for our party,” said Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who stayed up with Booker during the overnight portion of his address.
Booker already ran for president in 2020 and is widely seen as having ambitions for higher office. He joined the Democratic leadership team late last year.
Murphy, who is seen as a prospective Democratic candidate for the White House himself, said Booker has a unique ability to make Democrats see hope, even as the New Jersey senator highlights the risks, as he sees it, of the Trump administration…..
Note….
He’s be a might be BETTER choice than Murphy or Harris ……
Schumer and Jeffries simply do NOT have the presence…
