House breaks record for longest-ever vote — again

• Wednesday's record-setting vote was on a resolution setting the terms of debate on several measures, including the GENIUS Act, which would establish a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers.
• That broke the previous record, set two weeks ago to the day amid grueling negotiations over President Trump's "big, beautiful bill."

The big picture: Before two weeks ago, the previous record was set in 2021, when the House took seven hours and six minutes on a procedural vote related to then-President Biden's Build Back Better legislation.

• This was Johnson's (R-La.) second attempt after the House floor ground to a halt Tuesday when the chamber rejected the procedural vote on the first try.
• Johnson is facing demands from hardliners to combine the GENIUS Act with two other crypto bills the chamber is considering this week.

• That would force the Senate to reconsider the legislation, likely leading to significant delays.

Between the lines: Wednesday's revote followed a meeting Trump said he held late Tuesday in the Oval Office with opponents — after which he declared victory, apparently prematurely.

• "I am in the Oval Office with 11 of the 12 Congressmen/women necessary to pass the GENIUS Act and, after a short discussion, they have all agreed to vote tomorrow morning in favor of the Rule," Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
