House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has broken the record for the longest speech on the floor of the House of Representatives after speaking for more than eight hours. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. The Republican began speaking on the House floor at eight-thirty-eight p.m. Thursday and, a little hoarse at times, broke the record at four-forty-six Friday morning. McCarthy spoke for another 25 minutes – wrapping up shortly after five am.

“This evening showed that no matter the time, the day, or the circumstances, House Republicans will always fight for you, fight for your family, and fight for our country. With that, Madam Speaker, I yield back. [clapping].”

The final vote showed a bi-partisan rejection of the massive spending bill with one Democrat joining every Republican in voting against it. The bill now heads to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future.
