The progress of the representatives of the House of Representatives on the “Big and Beau Bill” by President Donald Trump have temporarily managed to stop thanks to the best Democrat in the Chamber.

The chief of the Hakeem Jeffries room minority, DN.Y., started to speak in the room a few minutes before 5 am and seems to be ready for more hours.

A GOP legislator told Fox News Digital that Jeffries had been seen arriving with several binders, which he read for about three hours. If the rest of the binders also hold parts of his speech, the New York Democrat could keep the floor of the room in break in the afternoon.

He is able to control the house floor via a “magic minute”, a privilege for party leaders in the room that allows them to speak as long as they wish.

He comes after the House of Representatives voted to advance the 3.3 billions of Trump dollars “Big, Beau Bill” in his last phase of the Congress, overcoming the fears of a potential republican mutiny.

This is an important victory for the president of the Mike Johnson room, R-La., Although the fight is not yet finished.

The legislators voted to carry out a debate on the bill on the agenda of the Trump the size of a gigantic in the first hours of Thursday – a mechanism known as the “rule vote” – creating a last vote on the scale of the House a day later Thursday morning.

The Chamber adopted the rules of debate on the measurement in a dramatic vote from 219 to 213 – with all the representative except moderate Brian Fitzpatrick, R -P -., Voting to continue.

Then comes a vote on the actual measure, probably Thursday.

But the timing depends largely on the moment when Jeffries ends up talking.

“I feel the obligation, Mr. President, to stand on this house and take my soft time,” he said at some point.

The first part of Jeffries’s speech saw him read in a binder which, according to him, contained accounts of people who could lose their coverage Medicaid under the GOP bill, drawn from residents of states with republican legislators.

“This congress is on the verge of tearing the food of children, veterans and the elderly following this great ugly bill in order to reward billionaires with massive tax lightening and exploding debt in the process,” he said at some point.

Jeffries called it “a great ugly bill” that “our republican colleagues try to block the throat of the American people will know their quality of life”.

The process of budgetary reconciliation, which the Republicans use to adopt the bill, is a mechanism which allows the party in power to completely put the touch of the minority in most cases.

This means that Jeffries or his caucus have no real power to prevent the bill from moving forward, making tactics delay their only form of tangible opposition at the moment.

The vote had been blocked for hours since Wednesday afternoon, with five Republicans from the Chamber ready to kill the measure before the legislators could weigh the bill itself.

Several members of the Conservative House Freedom Caucus and their allies, for their part, seemed ready to completely jump the vote to protest against the law on the compromises of the leaders of the GOP.

But Johnson and Trump spent hours negotiating with the selected, apparently in some success.

But the process could still take hours. Democrats could still call various procedural votes to delay the final measure, as they did when the legislation adopted the chamber of one vote for the first time at the end of May.

In addition, the bill itself could still face the opposition of moderates and conservative republicans.

Conservative legislators threatened to derail the vote on the rules as recently as Wednesday on the changes to the Senate to the legislation, which, according to tax, would add billions of dollars to the federal deficit.

But these concerns seem to have been counterbalanced by the pressure of the leaders of the GOP of the Chamber and the President himself – who urged the Republicans to the Chamber to merge around the bill.

The Senate adopted its version of the bill Tuesday morning, making changes to the provisions of the Chamber on the sharing of Medicaid costs with the states, certain tax measures and the increase in the ceiling of the debt.

The moderates are wary of the Senate measures which transfer more medications to Medicaid costs to the states that have expanded their programs under Obamacare, while the Conservatives declared that these cuts were not enough to compensate for additional expenses in other parts of the bill.

Two members of the Caucus Conservative of the Freedom Freedom who also find themselves in the Chamber Rules Committee, representatives Ralph Norman, RS.C., and Chip Roy, R-Texas, voted against the measure at the 12-hour hearing of the Rules Committee to examine the bill.

Johnson himself publicly urged the Senate to change as little as possible with a view to the vote. But the bill of the Upper Chamber was finally adopted by an equally close margin as a chamber – the vice -president JD Vance who voted.

“I am not satisfied with what the Senate did to our product,” said Johnson to journalists on Tuesday afternoon. “We understand that it is a process that goes back and forth, and we will work to bring all our members to yes.”

But Trump went to Truth Social after the Senate adopted the bill to urge the Republicans to do the same.

“It is no longer a” chamber bill “or a” Senate bill “. It is everyone’s bill. There is so much to be proud, and everyone has obtained a major political victory – but, the greatest winner of them will be the American people, who will have permanent taxes, the president said the president.

“We can have all this right now, but only if the GOP house is united, ignores its occasional educations (you know who you are!), And does the right thing, who sends this bill to my office. We are on time – keep it and merits it.

The room and the Senate were faced with the majority of the thin gop of the razors of only three votes each.

The bill would permanently extend the income tax tranches lowered by the Trump Trump Trump (TCJA) Trump Reducts Act, while temporarily adding new tax deductions to eliminate rights over advocacy in matters of divers and overtime to certain ceilings.

It also includes a new tax deduction for people aged 65 and over.

The legislation also refers to the tax credits on green energy implemented under the law on the reduction of inflation of former president Joe Biden, which Trump and his allies attacked as “the new green scam”.

The bill would also increase money to national defense and to the application of immigration and customs (ICE) in the name of Trump’s repression against illegal immigrants in the United States

The bill would also increase the limit of debt by $ 5 billion in order to avoid a potentially devastating lack of credit economically this summer, if the United States lacked liquidity to pay for its obligations.

New and enlarged work requirements would be implemented for Medicaid and federal food assistance, respectively.

The Democrats criticized the bill as a tax gift to the rich while reducing the federal advantages for the Americans of the working class.

But the Republicans declared that their tax provisions aimed at the work classes and the middle classes – citing measures eliminating the taxes on slope wages and overtime – while arguing that they reformed federal social protection programs to function better for those who really need them.

Progressive representative Maxwell Frost, D-FLA., Told journalists that it was Democrats to delay the procedure on Wednesday as long as possible.

“This last round, we were able to delay the 30 -hour bill. And so we are going to do the same thing, do everything we can from a procedural point of view to delay this,” said Frost.

Meanwhile, there were concerns earlier than if the weather delays in Washington could prevent legislators from going to Capitol Hill in time for the planned vote.

“We closely monitor the weather,” said Johnson to journalists. “There is a lot of delays at the moment.”
