There WAS one. He apparently took a break about 6 am and she picked up the ball (not sure who it was - ETA it may have been Tammy Baldwin but wasn't sure because her hair was pulled back and fastened up) - but if you check out the livestream now, Amy Klobuchar is speaking. There are others in there now (I "rewound" the video) including Andy Kim (D-NJ), so they are now doing a "colloquy" of multiples of them interacting with Booker.
