US EditionWhat is a 'magic minute,' and why can it last several hours?
- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took to the House floor early Thursday for an extended speech aimed at delaying the vote on President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.
- Jeffries protested limited debate rules and pledged to take his sweet time sharing constituent stories opposing deep Medicaid cuts and social program rollbacks.
- The legislation proposes over $4 trillion in tax reductions, allocates $350 billion for defense and border security, and implements $1.2 trillion in reductions to Medicaid and food assistance programs, reflecting GOP priorities and concerns.
- Jeffries pledged to carefully and thoroughly represent the interests of the American people, while GOP leaders, who have just enough support despite one Republican dissenting vote, strive to meet their goal of passing the bill by July 4.
- The Senate passed the bill by one vote, but final House passage remains uncertain due to ongoing opposition and Jeffries' refusal to yield the floor quickly.
