(NEXSTAR) — For more than seven hours, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) used his "magic minute" to argue against President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which House Republicans advanced early Thursday morning.

Republican holdouts in the House were persuaded to vote in favor of the bill, giving way to final debates in the predawn hours.

While the House was wrapping up those debates, Jeffries took to the mic to use his "magic minute." He began delivering his address at 5 a.m. ET and, as of 10:30 a.m. ET, he was still speaking out against the massive bill and vowing to take his "sweet time."
