Adelita Grijalva from Arizona won a special congressional election more than three weeks ago, but has yet to take the oath of office. Democrats say the Republican House Speaker is trying to delay this,

More than three weeks after winning her late father’s congressional seat, Tucson Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva returned to the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday to demand – yet again – that House Speaker Mike Johnson swear her in.

The congressional office's casework has been frozen since Grijalva's election victory more than three weeks ago.

Despite the fact that the voters have made their voices clear, Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed and stonewalled Rep. Grijalva’s swearing in,” said AG Mayes.

Critics are tearing into House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) over his latest claims about Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), whom he still hasn’t sworn in to office more than three weeks after she won a special election in Arizona.

Grijalva was referring to a measure that will force a House vote on compelling the Justice Department to release all files related to the investigation into late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The discharge petition, introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) last month, needs only one more vote to advance.
