Original Note:
While Booker's speech is the longest floor speech, it was not a filibuster. Filibusters are used to stall or block a nominee or specific piece of legislation, but Booker merely gave a long floor speech unrelated to specific Senate business. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/04/01/cory-booker-speech-longest-senate-history-filibuster/82757263007/
