U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst's vote for President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" could be a defining issue in her reelection race.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is holding the House floor in a speech that has already run for more than four hours, delaying what GOP leaders hoped would be a quick march to the final vote on President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

The House voted overnight Thursday, after hours of delay, to advance President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" before a final vote, which is expected soon.
