“I’m not here to talk about me, I’m here to talk about building back better,” Pelosi says, swatting away a question on whether she will run for re-election next year — PolitiTweet.org

“As soon as the necessary technical and procedural work with the Senate Parliamentarian has been completed, the Senate will take up this legislation,” Schumer says. He’ll need 50 Dem votes to take the bill up to begin debate. Manchin hasn’t said how he’ll vote on the initial vote — PolitiTweet.org

Lot of Republicans and Dems voting by proxy this morning, which is only supposed to be used if they can’t attend votes because of covid reasons. But it’s been increasingly used as a matter of convenience by both parties, even as Republicans sued over it. — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy’s speech clocked in at 8 hours and 32 minutes, beating Pelosi’s 2018 record of 8 hours and 7 minutes for the longest House speech in history. House reconvenes at 8am and expected to narrowly pass the Build Back Better bill, sending it to the Senate — PolitiTweet.org

McCarthy still speaking at 3am. He started at 838p. — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

McCarthy has been speaking for five hours and 18 minutes. Another three hours and he breaks Pelosi’s record set in 2018 for longest speech in House history — PolitiTweet.org

Manu Raju @mkraju

He noted Pelosi spoke for more than eight hours in 2018 during the “Magic Minute.” “The only reason we’re in the dead of night is because he is abusing the process. He has the right, but — and Nancy spoke for 8hours, so it's not unprecedented if somebody uses a long one minute” — PolitiTweet.org

Hoyer also said this another reason why they delayed the vote: “for humanitarian purposes, the welfare of our members.” — PolitiTweet.org

NEWS: Hoyer tells @pkcapitol and me that there will be NO vote tonight. House will come back at 8am “He wants to do it in the dead of night,” Hoyer says of McCarthy. “We are going to do it in the day.”  He also says he only knows of one Dem defection - Jared Golden. — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m just getting geared up,” McCarthy says, as he’s been speaking for 2 hours and 55 minutes, delaying the final passage vote of the Build Back Better bill — PolitiTweet.org

Based on the CBO’s analysis, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the price tag of the bill is $2.4T and would add $160B to deficits over next decade and $750B to deficits over the next five years. https://t.co/UNszWnneKR — PolitiTweet.org

Low energy in the chamber right now. Members on both sides look very tired. McCarthy has been speaking for 2 hours and 15 minutes — PolitiTweet.org

“He’s done?” a Democrat says from the cloakroom. Some start clapping. “No,” someone else says. Laughter is heard. McCarthy continues speaking, about to reach the two-hour mark. — PolitiTweet.org
