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,

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is facing an explosion of internal anger among his members over the Senate's changes to President Trump's "big, beautiful bill." Why it matters: The speaker has just days to pass the bill before Republicans' self-imposed July 4 deadline — which will require flipping dozens of "no" votes and overcoming numerous procedural hurdles.

The president exhorted Republicans to get behind the legislation after efforts to pass it hit resistance. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries decried the package in a record-long floor speech.

House Republicans advanced their “big, beautiful bill” full of President Trump’s legislative priorities on Wednesday.
