US senator breaks record with 24-hour speech against Trump
Democrat Cory Booker sets a record for the longest speech in Senate history after speaking for more than 24 hours, a dramatic gesture highlighting what he said is President Donald Trump's threat to US democracy. Booker was still talking after 24 hours and 20 minutes on the Senate floor, breaking the record set in 1957 by right-wing Republican Strom Thurmond in a speech opposing the Civil Rights Act. IMAGES
