To delay the passage of the "Build Back Better Act," Democratic Party leaders in the U.S. broke the House record for the longest speech.

BlockBeats News, July 4th: Democratic leader Jeffrey broke the record for the longest speech in the House of Representatives by speaking for over eight hours in an effort to delay the passage of the "Beautiful Act" bill. During his speech, Jeffrey read out letters from constituents who may be affected by cuts to the social security safety net program and called out Republican lawmakers who are about to support the bill.

This speech was the final move by the Democratic Party to delay the passage of the bill. However, the bill is still expected to pass later on Thursday to meet the Republicans' self-imposed July 4th deadline. Most Republicans were unfazed by the speech. House Speaker Johnson called the speech "a complete waste of everyone's time." (Jinse Finace)
