Booker ends his record speech in a mighty blaze!
Cory Booker's final words after 25 hours on the floor...

“I don’t know how to solve this, I don’t know how to stop us from going down this road,” Booker concluded. “But I know who does have the power. The people of the United States of America. The power of the people is greater than the people in power.”

“Let’s get in good trouble,” Booker ended, referencing his mentor the late congressman John Lewis.
