WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Cory Booker ended his record-setting speech the same way he began it, more than 25 hours earlier: by invoking the words of his mentor, the late congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis.

The Democrat, 55, who has been attacking cuts under the Trump administration, vowed to keep going "as long as I am physically able."

The New Jersey senator’s sharp ensemble—punctuated by a taut four-in-hand necktie knot—felt like a purposeful nod to historic civil rights leaders.
