The New Jersey senator spent much of his speech, which ended after more than 25 hours, assailing the Trump administration. He eclipsed Strom Thurmond’s filibuster of a civil rights bill in 1957.

    Spectacular feature, but people are talking about the length of the speech and not so much what he spoke about. This is impressive feature too!

      I’m sure some of his content was spot on, but the whole point was holding the Senate locked for as long as possible. 25 hours was the impressive feat.

      But when you speak for more than a day straight… I bet a lot of what he said would be considered rambling.
