GOP Pollster Makes Startling Prediction After Cory Booker's History-Making Speech [View all]

Longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz was so impressed by the record-breaking speech by Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) this week that he thinks the Democratic Party may have a new leader in its midst.

“I want to emphasize what Cory Booker did over the last 24 hours may have changed the course of political history,” he told NewsNation’s Leland Vittert.

Booker spoke for a record 25 hours and 4 minutes as he railed against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, generating viral moments on social media.

“What I saw over the last 25 hours absolutely blew me away,” Luntz admitted, then made a big prediction. “That speech puts Cory Booker as one of the leaders for the Democratic Party for 2028.”
