Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva's Swearing-In Delayed Amidst Political Tensions
TL;DR Summary
Democrat Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election to succeed her late father in Arizona, has not yet been sworn into Congress due to a delay by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who cites the government shutdown as the reason. Democrats are pressuring for her swearing-in, which has been delayed despite precedents, and her situation is also linked to broader political issues including a petition to release Jeffrey Epstein files.
