10+ yrs of inept leadership from the Dems, rolling over for a fascist takeover, & *this* is all it takes for people to fall all over themselves calling for “Booker for President”? Seriously?
He’s doing the definition of political grandstanding for his own career
It could happen. He’s definitely staking his claim today! He’s gotten out ahead of the pack and answering the question many people have been asking, “Where are our leaders?” Cory is saying, “How about me? I’m willing!”
No, no, and no. He's a crypto guy, he's pro-genocide, and he's completely financially beholden to a foreign nation. 3 strikes. Good on him for this filibuster and all, but leadership? Absolutely not.
He has earned my respect many times over, not just by passion and endurance, but also by making substantial policy statements with often brilliant rhetoric.
When the times are bleak, and it seems we're in our final hour, fate hands us a leader. In 1860, many -- perhaps most -- doubted Lincoln was up to the task. We got lucky.
Senator Cory Booker just made history with the longest filibuster ever—bold, principled, and full of patriotic audacity. This is what standing up for democracy looks like. We see you, Senator. And we’re with you. 🌓✨

I’d be happy with that. I heard some of what he said, certainly not all LOL , he’s saying what we’re all saying about trump Musk Putin and repubs : the eroding away of democracy, compassion, decency , caring
I was moved by Booker's filibuster too, but continuing to support Israel's violence against innocent Palestinians, aid workers, journalists, and children doesn't feel presidential to me. America is so desperate for a hero we choose to ignore moves that fly in the face of true heroism.
I don’t know enough about his policy stances to endorse for president YET I’m all for minority leader! The one we have right now is worse than useless..
At this point anything's better than the South African Fascist eugenicist and his brain dead puppet that we have now. Booker definitely has the energy and passion we need.
I'm from Wisconsin, and after Cory Booker's impassioned speech and our big win, I am so proud of the bright senator you have and happy our state could be bought.
Fuck yes!! I’m totally on Team Booker after today’s display of humanity, compassion, integrity, empathy, intellectual capability and linguistic prowess!!
I will start with Minority Leader first. The Dems need big changes and one person will not accomplish that task. We need to see others rise up and speak truth to power and actually risk something.
I don't think anything could have saved her campaign, she's been demonized by the right wing for decades. Boring white-bread Tim Kaine certainly didn't help though.
What pisses me off the most is the so-called "left wingers" who wouldn't vote and not only that, but they discouraged others from voting for her. Just goes to show misogyny isn't just a problem on the right.
No, definitely not, Booker is going to just go back to the same old ways as Schumer. Need to flush it all and get someone completely new and fiery. Booker spokefor 25 hours but never even mentioned the kidnapping of students off the street. No thanks.
I voted for her
Where is she btw? We are on full on fascism, Bernie and AOC are on the streets, greene and Crockett are protesting, Booker is filibustering
Where are Kamala? Biden? Pelosi? The clintons?
Even schumer decided to do something, but for the nazi party
Finally someone with some cojones!
Not that stupid Fetterman who is full of baloney!
Cory Booker stands up to rail against the Lying King!
For hours and hours Cory did sing!
Now we need some more senators to stand up!
And drink from that big truth cup!
Met Senator Booker decades ago. I’ve been waiting for his time ever since. Smart, sincere, intelligent, deep thinker, deep heart, quick learner, compassionate, with a great sense of humor. And he sure has some serious charisma! We have our leader out of this f’n nightmare! Yes!
Just stop. When someone steps up and does what is needed it doesn’t mean they should be promoted. He’s doing what is necessary in the moment. He is doing what he needs to do to correct some of his bad votes. We need good leadership in the ranks of the House and Senate.
Really?? Cory all talk, no walk. He's owned by AIPAC (Israel lobbyists) they ALL are. Trump got 230 million. WE have a right to abolish a tyrannical govt. Revolution is the only solution ✊🏽
I'm in the UK, and have very little knowledge of how the US political system works. I don't really understand the ins and outs of what Cory Booker has done, but it appears that the Dems have,at last, found someone with real integrity and balls. Well done that guy.
Senators are allowed to keep the floor as long they speak, which includes taking questions without yielding the floor. They're not allowed to leave the room or sit down, or they'll lose their right to continue.
To be fair, the field was loaded with presidential material. I mean - I had five favorites, and thought everyone but Gabbard and Williamson capable of stepping right in
We have friends who are big donors, and both did stints with the DNC. They held candidate meeting and greets at their home for most of the field, and their favorite was Pete. I remember telling them, the best person is Biden, who was savvy enough to pick Harris.
In all horror movies, the monster must be vanquished or you end up in a ‘Jeepers Creepers’ cycle. We are literally at ‘Jeepers Creepers’, on the school at midnight. No one on that bus should be talking about an election in ‘28 when what they should be concentrating on is surviving the night.

We need them all to do their job.
Could Cory Booker be the next “Obama”?
Maybe it will happen again.
Now please

BOOKER/HARRIS
I really think it's a dead end job. And, for that reason, I don't think @booker.senate.gov wants it.
In difficult times, true leaders emerge.
2025 PATRIOT OF THE YEAR
SETTING THE PACE FOR DEMOCRACY
POTUS.
I'm a bit biased because he's from NJ, but right now I couldn't be prouder of the guy.
@jojofromjerz.bsky.social should be his VP! #JerseyInTheHouse
He seems nice.
When even the most non-political person might even watch?
president. Aren’t we looking to inject young people into government?
Is he clean enough to not be protested by the left?
Where is she btw? We are on full on fascism, Bernie and AOC are on the streets, greene and Crockett are protesting, Booker is filibustering

History made
Honour displayed
Hope generated.
Need more of this.
* oh yes, I have hate for our country…but love too. A thin line between.
Def would love him to replace Schumer
Maybe not potus, but i wouldn’t cry
