How many Oura points did Sen. Cory Booker lose during his 25-hour marathon speech in protest of President Donald Trump?

The answer, it seems, is a lot.

Oura rings are a trendy fashion accessory that uses biometrics to track things like heart rate, sleep, stress indicators and more. A NOTUS reporter earlier this week spotted that Booker was wearing an Oura ring on the floor as he delivered the longest Senate speech in history. The stats from his ring were later provided by his office.
