Trump admin updates: Trump says tariff letters to be sent to 'various countries' on Monday

More than two hours into his final attack on Trump's tax and spending agenda measure, Jeffries accused congressional Republicans of "recklessly" rubber-stamping legislation that will "rip health care away" from millions of Americans.

A source said "brace yourself" when asked how long Jeffries would go.

He complained bitterly that Republicans had started the final debate in the dark of night -- but was now making his case as Americans were waking up.

Speaker Mike Johnson was set to speak after Jeffries, indicating a final vote could slip closer to mid-morning.

In a passionate floor speech as the House drew near to a final vote, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blasted what he called Trump's "big ugly bill," citing personal stories of vulnerable people he said would be hit hard by Medicaid cuts.

Speaking for more than an hour, he called the measure an "unprecedented assault on the American people."

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been speaking on the House floor for over an hour as utilizes his "magic minute" -- which is essentially an untimed opportunity for him to speak.

Once Jeffries wraps up his speech, Speaker Mike Johnson will speak on the floor. Then, they'll move to the final passage vote.

The House passed the rule vote by a tally of 219-213. Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick was the lone Republican to vote No with all Democrats.

The other four Republican No votes — Victoria Spartz, Thomas Massie, Keith Self, and Andrew Clyde — flipped to yes in the wee hours of the morning.

The House is currently debating the bill. Following one hour of debate, the House could vote on a motion to consider the legislation.

Emerging from a ceremonial office off the House floor at 3 AM, Speaker Johnson said he had the votes to pass the rule to advance the Trump-backed megabill.

“We'll be moving forward here shortly,” Johnson said about the procedural vote that had dragged on almost 6 hours Thursday morning.

“The group will go down, get the votes necessary to pass the rule, we'll proceed to debate, probably two to three hours for that. There's an hour allotted, but leader Jeffries gets a magic minute. I think he goes about an hour. Mine will be much shorter than that, and we will proceed to the final vote, and we'll be passing this bill I expect maybe round 8, 8:30 this morning,” Johnson told reporters.
