At eight hours and 44 minutes, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on July 3 broke the record for longest speech in U.S. House history during his effort to delay the final vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Jeffries used a procedural tool called the “magic minute” that allows leaders unlimited floor time. He started speaking just before 5 a.m. ET.
