TL;DR Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson has agreed to swear in Adelita Grijalva after a seven-week delay, following enough Senate Democrats signing onto a spending bill to end the government shutdown. Grijalva, elected in September to Arizona’s 7th District, was delayed from being sworn in despite her and others' legal challenges, which argued the delay was an abuse of power. Johnson's decision comes as the House prepares to vote on the spending bill, with Grijalva expressing disappointment over the delay and its impact on her constituents.
