New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is cashing in on the publicity from his marathon speech with a book entitled Stand.
This announcement follows Booker’s 25-hour speech in the Senate two months ago, which surpassed the record set by former Senator Strom Thurmond during his opposition to the 1957 Civil Rights Act.
In his book, Booker plans to revisit the key themes from that speech, highlighting what he sees as the harm caused by policies under the Trump administration.
“This book is about the virtues vital to our success as a nation and lessons we can draw from generations of Americans who fought for them,” Booker said in a statement.
“I don’t know how to solve this. I don’t know how to stop us from going down this road. … But I know who does have the power: the people of the United States of America. … Let’s get in good trouble.”

“Now is not the time to surrender to cynicism or abandon our most noble ideals,” he continued.
“Now is the time to defiantly declare like our ancestors before us: I too stand for America.”
The book describes itself as “an urgent call to renew our shared values and commit to endurance, courage and principled action.”
The deal will add further fuel to the speculation that Booker is gearing himself up for a run for the Democratic nomination in 2028.
Last month, Booker staged a sit-in on the Capitol steps alongside House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, although the stunt ended in failure when barely anyone showed up to participate.
Booker previously ran for the presidency in 2020, although failed to ever poll above single digits and suspended his campaign before the Iowa cacuses.
