Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries repeatedly referred to the package as “this one big ugly bill” as he delayed the vote for hours to speak out against it and the GOP’s deference to Trump.
Protesters against the bill have gathered at the Capitol Rotunda all week, with some submitting to arrest by Capitol Police.
