The U.S. House of Representatives finally got a chance to move forward with voting on President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Thursday afternoon, after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries finally ended his nearly 9-hour speech.
Jeffries was attempting to stall the passage of the bill, even as Republicans were trying to get it passed ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline.
When House Speaker Mike Johnson finally got the podium back, he urged, “My friends, the president of the United States is waiting with his pen. The American people are waiting for this relief. We’ve heard enough talk. It’s time for action. Let’s finish the job for him. Vote yes on the bill.”

The “Big Beautiful Bill” was approved in a 218-214 vote.
Two Republican congress members joined all Democrats in opposing the bill: Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). With their tight majority, Republicans can only lose 3 votes and still pass legislation.
