YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries has set a record for the longest floor speech in modern history of the US House of Representatives as he speaks at length in protest against President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill. Then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy previously set the record in 2021. Launching into marathon remarks at 4:53 a.m. ET, the New York Democrat spoke for hours from two separate binders, sharing stories from Americans who will be impacted by historic cuts to the Medicaid program and other provisions in the GOP megabill. #CNN #News
