新泽西州联邦参议员科里·布克（民主党）在密歇根州民主党大会上发表了一场充满活力的复兴布道式演讲，他一边高呼一边打着手势，敦促民主党人成为“民主的先锋战士”，并警告称“黑暗与风暴”正在席卷全国。
布克是包括前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔在内的几位外州领导人之一，他们都参加了密歇根州民主党大会。这三人都被传可能成为2028年总统大选的潜在候选人。
布克的演讲时长约25分钟，数次向人群高声喊话，采用了富有诗意的节奏和措辞。
“女士们，先生们，我们的国家正处于一场风暴之中，”布克在演讲结束时高呼，“这里有黑暗与风暴。人们正在受伤。我们需要的不是高高在上的施舍。我们需要的是民主的先锋战士，他们愿意在危难时刻挺身而出。”

随后布克宣布，现在是民主党人“重塑美国梦想”的时候了。
“你们会为我们的民主挺身而出吗？你们会站出来动员选民投票吗？你们会为我们的孩子挺身而出吗？你们会为我们的长辈挺身而出吗？”布克说道，“你们会团结一致、坚强不屈——成为人们所需要的希望吗？我们是民主党人。是时候开启新的契约了。是时候重塑美国的梦想了。”
曾在2020年总统竞选中失利的布克，借此次演讲向密歇根州选民介绍自己，分享了自己的政治生涯以及与这个五大湖州的家庭渊源。
科里·布克尖锐批评自己所在政党，承认民主党人“在我们这一代失败了”
他曾一度表达对那些因与希拉里·克林顿或副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯“在10%的政策上存在分歧”而放弃投票给她们的选民的不满。
“好吧，你可能在10%的政策上与她意见不合，但你却让一个在所有问题上都与你对立的人上台了，”布克怒斥道，“你让一个将我们的孩子关进监狱的人上台了。你让一个夺走我们医疗保障的人上台了。你让一个剥夺工人权利的人上台了。你让一个废除教育部的人上台了。”
随后他建议密歇根州的民主党选民将密歇根州的形状——该州的轮廓——转变为“密歇根之拳”。

科里·布克被旧视频拍到自称“我爱唐纳德·特朗普”
“我不想要八月初选后的‘密歇根之手’，我想要的是‘密歇根之拳’，”布克高呼，“我希望你们团结起来。我希望你们打破阻力之墙。我希望你们拿起大锤，砸烂一些东西。我希望你们伸出手，把某个人从沙发上拉起来，让他们走上战场。我们还有分数要在计分板上加上去。我想要那只密歇根之拳。我想要团结一致。”
然而，前MSNBC评论员梅赫迪·哈桑对布克关于2024年未投票给哈里斯的民主党选民的言论提出异议。哈桑表示，布克的描述将民主党选举失利的责任归咎于选民，而非政党的纲领。

“我曾试图告诉那些2024年未投民主党票的人‘给民主党人一个教训’，但可悲的是，民主党人永远不会吸取这个教训，”哈桑在X平台上分享布克演讲视频时写道，“看看布克，他只是在攻击和嘲笑那些没有出来为民主党投票的人。永远都是选民的错，永远都不是民主党或他们的候选人的错。”
其他批评者则对布克激昂的演讲方式加以嘲讽。

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., delivered a high-energy, revival sermon-style speech at the Michigan Democratic Convention, shouting and gesturing as he urged Democrats to become “foot soldiers for democracy” and warned that “darkness and wind” are sweeping the nation.
Booker was one of several out-of-state leaders, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, to participate in the Michigan Democratic Convention. All three have been floated as possible contenders for the 2028 presidential election.
Booker spoke for roughly 25 minutes and at several points bellowed at the crowd, adopting a poetic cadence and word choice.
“Ladies and gentlemen, there is a storm in our nation,” Booker exclaimed, finishing his speech. “There is darkness and wind. People are getting hurt. What we need is not from on high. We need foot soldiers of our democracy who in times of trial, are willing to stand up.”

Booker then announced that it was time for Democrats to “redeem the dream of America.”
“Will you stand for our democracy? Will you stand to get out the vote? Will you stand for our children? Will you stand up for our elders?” Booker said. “And will you stand together, unified, strong — be the hope that people need. We are Democrats. It’s time for a new deal. It’s time to redeem the dream of America.”
Booker, who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020, used the speech as an opportunity to introduce himself to Michigan voters, sharing his career in politics and his family ties to the Great Lakes State.

At one point, he expressed his dismay with voters who opted out of voting for presidential candidates Hillary Clinton or Vice President Kamala Harris because they disagreed “on ten percent of her views.”
“Well, you may disagree with her on 10% of her views, but you let someone get in office who you disagree with on everything,” Booker railed. “You let somebody get in office who is locking up our children. You let somebody in office who’s taking away our health care. You let somebody in office who’s taken away workers rights. You let somebody in office who got rid of the Department of Education.”
He then suggested that Democratic voters in Michigan turn the Michigan hand — a reference to the state’s shape — into the “Michigan fist.”

CORY BOOKER CONFRONTED WITH OLD CLIP OF HIMSELF SAYING HE LOVES DONALD TRUMP
“I don’t want the Michigan hand after your August primary, I want the Michigan fist,” Booker shouted. “I want you all to unite. I want you to punch a hole in the wall of resistance. I want you to grab a sledgehammer and knock some stuff down. I want you to reach up and grab somebody and get them off the couch and get him on the field. We got points to put on the board. I want that Michigan fist. I want some unity.”
However, former MSNBC commentator Medhi Hasan took issue with Booker’s assertion about Democratic voters who didn’t vote for Harris in 2024. Hasan said that Booker’s characterization places the blame on voters for a Democratic loss rather than the party platform.

“I tried to tell people who didn’t vote Dem in 2024 ‘to teach Democrats a lesson’ that sadly Democrats will never learn that lesson,” Hasan said on X, sharing a video of Booker speaking. “Here’s Booker simply attacking and mocking people who didn’t show up to vote Dem. It’s always the voters’ fault, never the Dems or their candidates.”
Other critics poked fun at Booker’s emphatic deliverance.
“Calm down, Spartacus,” wrote America First Works, a non-profit group and the advocacy arm of the America First Policy Institute.
