Jeffries sets modern-day House record with marathon "magic minute" floor remarks

AI Overview
Yes, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries set a new record for the longest floor speech in the modern history of the House of Representatives on Thursday, July 3, 2025, using the "magic minute" rule to speak for over eight hours in opposition to a Republican bill., Link: according to Politico. He began his remarks just before 5 a.m. EDT and spoke for 8 hours and 33 minutes, surpassing the previous record of 8 hours and 32 minutes set by then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in 2021.
The "magic minute," also known as a leadership minute, is a procedural custom in the House that allows party leaders, such as the Speaker, Majority Leader, and Minority Leader, to speak for an unlimited amount of time, unlike other members who have strict time limits.
Jeffries utilized this privilege to voice his opposition to the Republican-led tax and spending bill, which he referred to as the "one big, ugly bill". He focused on the potential impact of the bill's cuts to social safety net programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), reading notes and stories from constituents who he claimed would be harmed. He also criticized the lack of debate time allotted for a bill of such significance.
While his speech delayed the final vote on the bill, it was ultimately expected to pass. Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, largely dismissed the speech as a waste of time.
