Jeffries Delays Trump Bill Vote with Extended House Speech
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been speaking for hours using the “magic minute” rule, delaying a vote on President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”. The bill, which includes significant tax cuts and spending reductions, aims to extend tax breaks and cut Medicaid and food stamps. Jeffries is speaking against the legislation, branding it as an “all-out assault” on Americans’ health and living standards, with a focus on those who would be negatively impacted by the bill. This ongoing speech comes as House Republicans prepare to vote on the bill before a self-imposed deadline.
