Congressman Carter Statement on Senator Cory Booker Historic Senate Floor Debate

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) released the following statement:

“At this very moment, I’m sitting on the Senate floor in full support of my dear brother, Senator Cory Booker, as he approaches his 21st consecutive hour of powerful, principled debate.

“This is more than a moment—it is a movement. Senator Booker is shining a light on the dangerous and unconstitutional actions of the Musk-Trump administration. He is speaking not just for himself, but for millions whose voices are too often ignored or silenced. With unwavering resolve, he is standing up for our democracy, our Constitution, and the sacred promise of liberty and justice for all.

“His endurance is not just physical—it is moral, spiritual, and patriotic. I’m honored to stand with him, shoulder to shoulder, in defense of what is right and what is just.

“Let it be known: we will not sit quietly while democracy is dismantled. We rise, we speak, and we act—with unity, with love, and with unshakable resolve.”
