Yawn: Cory Booker Cashes In On His 25-Hour Anti-Trump Filibuster With New Book Deal

Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s new book “Stand” is set to hit the shelves this November, St. Martin’s Publishing Group announced Wednesday.

The book will serve as a follow up to the over-day-long anti-Trump speech Booker gave on the Senate floor from March 31 to April 1, according to AP. “It is time for good trouble,” an official synopsis of the book from Macmillan Publishers stated.

Booker’s 25-hour Senate speech broke a record that had been held for nearly 70 years by segregationist South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond, who gave a 24-hour and 18-minute speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which eventually passed. In his headline-making speech, Booker notably suggested that the Trump administration is going to cut Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security — something President Donald Trump has vehemently denied on various occasions.
