To delay the passage of the "Beautiful Big Bill" legislation, Democratic leaders broke the House record for the length of speeches.

On July 4, House Democratic leader Jeffries spoke for more than eight hours in the House, breaking the record for the longest speech in the House, with the aim of delaying the passage of the "Beautiful Big Bill". Jeffries used his speaking time to read letters from constituents who might be affected by cuts to the Social Security safety net programs, naming those Republicans who are about to support the bill. This speech was the Democrats' last-ditch effort to stall the bill's passage. Nevertheless, the bill is still expected to pass later on Thursday to meet the Republicans' self-imposed deadline of July 4. Most Republicans shrugged off the speech. House Speaker Johnson called the speech "a complete waste of everyone's time." (Jin10)
