House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy delayed the passage of President Joe Biden’s social spending package after embarking on an hours-long floor speech that lambasted the bill and Democrats for a wide range of issues.
The speech began as the House concluded debate on the sweeping budget Thursday night and proceeded to so-called “magic minutes,” which allow three members — the speaker, majority leader and minority leader — to speak for unlimited amounts of time. At 12:22 a.m. Friday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced that no votes would occur as McCarthy neared the fourth hour of his speech.
