About how Booker went over 24 hours w/o bathroom breaks

Manu Raju broke this news, according to Ron Filipkowski: "To answer the question that I've heard many people asking, Cory Booker tells a group of us he didn't have to go to the restroom over 25 hours because he hasn't eaten since Friday and stopped drinking water Sunday. He said he intentionally dehydrated himself."
