Agree 100%, Olivia! He set a powerful example, and I hope more of his colleagues follow him!

Let's put any pressure to break Booker's record aside, and ask "who's next?!"

Oh and Cory Booker, I have no words. I cried and cried. I believe he was a Senator for all Americans. 🇺🇸

One of the things that has always bothered me about the Trump era/GOP ( not true conservatives) is that they have an utter disrespect for their constituents. .They gaslight people to gain power, which is profoundly disgraceful. Cory Booker showed how wrong that is last night.

Well said. Sen. Booker showed strength of character, a deep understanding of American history, and empathy, all of which are lacking in today's trump, musk, republican apparatus.

All of maga could be associated with a lack of empathy: There is no specific diagnosis called "Empathy Deficit Disorder" in official psychiatric manuals like the DSM-5. However, a lack of empathy can be associated with various mental health conditions, such as narcissistic personality disorder or antisocial personality disorder.

Hopefully Sen. Booker turned on some lights in the minds of those who believe govt is just an enemy to be vanquished. Govt can be used for great things, and Sen. Booker is a great example of those who can lead America in that direction again. Other congressional democrats may find their spine and stand strong after seeing Sen. Booker stand strong against the agents of tyranny and chaos.

He is a up and coming star of the democratic party. Right now he is my hero of my party. I have liked him before he became a senator. He is a true gentleman/politician/good human need i say more.

If he didn’t win over some wavering folks on what kind of leadership we need… those people are lost.
