According to sources, Democratic leader Jeffrey broke the House record for speech length by speaking for over eight hours in an attempt to delay the passage of the infrastructure bill. Jeffrey used his speaking time to read letters from constituents who may be affected by cuts to social security safety net programs, and called out Republicans who are set to support the bill. This speech is the final move by the Democrats to delay the bill's passage. Despite this, the bill is still expected to pass later on Thursday to meet the Republicans' self-imposed deadline of July 4th. Republicans mostly shrugged off the speech, with House Speaker Johnson calling it a complete waste of everyone's time.
