Sen. Cory Booker‘s (D-NJ) marathon Senate speech may have aided aspirations of a higher office in three years, according to a new poll.

The New Jersey senator, who unsuccessfully ran in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, delivered a record-breaking 25-hour speech on the Senate floor earlier this month protesting President Donald Trump and his administration. The moment caused Booker’s star to rise among Democratic circles inside the beltway, at a time when Democrats are searching for a leader to guide them through Trump’s second term.
