Cory Booker, a senior Democratic senator from New Jersey, didn't take bathroom breaks or wander far from his desk during his record-breaking speech.

To physically prepare for the feat, Booker used “a lot of tactics,” he said, including fasting and curbing water intake in the days before to make sure he could stand for so long and wouldn’t have to take a bathroom break.

Democrat Cory Booker made headlines after delivering the longest US Senate speech in history earlier in the week. He revealed his preparation, which included fasting for days and dehydrating himself the night before the D-day to avoid taking a bathroom break.
