House Speaker Mike Johnson has slammed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries over the Democrat’s speech delaying a vote on President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful” spending bill. Johnson said Republicans are eager to pass Trump’s bill in the lower chamber but must wait for Jeffries to finish his speech,

After casting their “no” votes, reporters saw both Fitzpatrick and Self immediately leave the chamber. Johnson and leadership are now tasked with tracking down the dissenters and holdouts to convince them that the “big, beautiful bill” is the “best product we could produce” in order to move forward.

House Republicans face intense scrutiny over Trump’s sweeping tax-and-spending bill amid Medicaid cut backlash.
