New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker held the Senate floor with a speech that lasted more than 25 hours and broke the record set by Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, 68 years ago.

Booker broke the record for the longest speech on the Senate floor, but it was not filibuster. A filibuster is a speech designed to delay or prevent a vote on a bill. Booker was not trying to prevent specific legislation from passing but was speaking to show Democrats' resistance to President Donald Trump.
