House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is now 10 minutes away from breaking a record in the House for the longest floor speech ever -- an accomplishment held by Republican Kevin McCarthy, who four years ago spoke for 8 hours and 32 minutes in opposition to President Joe Biden's "Build Back Better" legislation.

A final House vote is expected Thursday for President Trump's second-term agenda on tax reductions, immigration enforcement and deep Medicaid cuts.

Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders haggled into the early hours of Thursday to try and convince their party’s holdouts to support the bill.
