The lawmaker who's been holding the Senate floor with a lengthy speech railing against President Donald Trump's Republican agenda is a New Jersey Democrat who once found common ground with the president during his first term.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker took to the Senate floor Monday evening saying he would remain there as long as he was “physically able.”

Hailed by many as a returning hero, U.S. Sen. and Bergen County native Cory Booker held a town hall at Bergen Community College for over 1,000 people.
