Cory Booker Expands Senate Speech into Upcoming Book
Senator Cory Booker will release 'Stand' in November, building on his record-breaking Senate floor address.
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey is set to release a new book titled 'Stand', expanding on his historic 25-hour speech on the Senate floor, which took place on March 31 and April 1. The speech, which surpassed the previous record held by former Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, was originally delivered in opposition to policies of the Trump administration.
In a statement, Booker described the book as a reflection on essential virtues vital to the nation’s success, drawing lessons from American history.
The forthcoming publication, scheduled for release by St. Martin’s Press in November, reiterates key points from his Senate speech and emphasizes the impact of the Trump administration on American society.
Booker has previously authored three books, among them 'Cory Booker’s Speech of the Century', which included a complete transcription of his record-setting address.
As he prepares for his reelection campaign in 2026, Booker has reportedly raised over $11 million in campaign funds but has been reticent regarding a potential bid for the presidency in 2028.
In a recent interview, Booker reaffirmed his focus on his role in the Senate and his current reelection campaign, stating, 'I’m hoping they’ll allow me to be their senator for another six years.'
In other news, former President Trump has nominated Emil Bove, a senior Justice Department official, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Bove has previously worked as one of Trump’s criminal defense attorneys and was recognized for his role as a federal prosecutor in New York City.
Trump announced this nomination alongside five district court nominees via social media platforms.
The nominations require Senate confirmation before Bove can assume his judicial role.
Trump’s recent appointments aim to fill federal vacancies, highlighting his ongoing influence in shaping the judiciary.
Bove's nomination follows Trump's recent round of appointments, which included judges for the Southern District of Florida.
Additionally, Trump indicated he would consider pardons for individuals involved in the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
This comment came during a press briefing at the White House, where Trump expressed his concerns regarding the fairness of the trial that convicted several individuals linked to the plot, noting it has garnered attention from various groups.
