Cory Booker Fasted, Skipped Water to Avoid Bathroom During Record Senate Speech​on April 2, 2025 at 2:30 pm

Cory Booker went full marathon mode this week, breaking the record for the longest Senate speech — and he’s dishing on all the tricks he used to pull it off … including how he avoided a single nature break.

At a press conference after his epic speech, the New Jersey Senator spilled the secret to his endurance — he had fasted for days and cut out water beforehand, which definitely helped him dodge any mid-lecture bathroom breaks.

Cory gave more insight into how standing strong for 25 hours and 5 minutes in total came at a cost — explaining that skipping water gave him some brutal muscle cramps along the way.

But he powered through, pulling out every trick in the book to push past those cramps — all in the name of railing against the shake-ups and chaos brought on by Trump’s second presidency.

Booker was also asked if he used a diaper or another device to help him push through … check out his response — ’cause he seems to be skirting around the question here.

On a more serious note, Cory told reporters that folks were calling on Democrats like himself to step up and take risks to make their voices heard — so standing and speaking for hours on end felt like the right move for him.
