Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is holding the House floor in a speech that has already run for more than two hours, delaying what GOP leaders hoped would be a quick march to the final vote on President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The Senate narrowly approved Trump's so-called "One, Big Beautiful Bill" on July 1 on a 51-50 vote after three Republicans defected, requiring Vice President JD Vance to break the tie in a dramatic flourish and send the bill back to the House for final approval, USA TODAY reported.
