AI Summary

A "filibuster" in the context of Hakeem Jeffries refers to his use of an extended speech on the House floor to delay legislative proceedings. Recently, Representative Jeffries conducted a marathon speech lasting over five hours to delay a vote on a major Trump-backed tax and policy bill, which House Republicans were aiming to pass; despite his efforts, the bill ultimately cleared procedural hurdles and advanced towards a final vote, eventually passing the Senate.
