#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries spoke for over 8 hours & 44 minutes.

Then-Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was the previous record holder. His speech in 2021 lasted 8 hours & 32 minutes.

#Democrats chant “Hakeem! Hakeem!” as he finishes his record-breaking speech with the words: “I yield back.” They are surrounding him on the House floor, cheering & lining up for embraces.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is approaching the eight-hour mark in his filibustering speech blasting President Trump's megabill. Democratic sources told @AxiosNews that his goal was to ensure Republicans are forced to pass the bill during daylight hours, not during the night. Jeffries described the tax and spending bill as an "immoral document." "People will die. Tens of thousands, perhaps year after year after year, as a result of the Republican assault on the healthcare of the American people. I'm sad. I never thought I would be on the House floor saying, 'this is a crime scene,'" he said. Find Axios's summary at the first link, and @abc's liveblog at the second.

He has not left the #House floor once for the duration.
He spoke about the "extraordinary level of corruption" that has made its way into the bill & throughout DC.
"It's extraordinary to me... we have folks in this town talking about draining the swamp. Guess what? You are the swamp," Jeffries said, "We've never seen anything like this. The type of #corruption that has been unleashed on the American people."

#HakeemJeffries has passed the 7 hr mark. He has discussed how #unions & #CollectiveBargaining shaped his own life & reiterated #Democrats’ commitment to unions.

The #OneBigBeautifulBill act harms working Americans in many ways, just one of which is #unlawful #fees on Justice & Unions – it imposes a $350 fee on federal employees to file appeals w/the #MSPB, & charges unions for official time—despite being legally mandated.
