“House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) delayed quick passage of Democrats’ social spending and climate change package late Thursday night by holding the floor for more than two hours in a filibuster-style speech,” The Hill reports.
Washington Post: “McCarthy used the address to attack Democrats over a broad range of issues, including border security and Afghanistan policy — prompting jeers from Democrats, some of whom left as he spoke.”
