Democrats Criticize Mike Johnson for Blocking Grijalva
House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in newly elected representative Adelita Grijalva, prompting protests from Democrats and a vow of legal action from Arizona's attorney general.
Grijalva was elected on September 23 to succeed her late father, Raúl Grijalva, in the House, but Johnson has blocked her from being sworn in as an official member.
- Arizona voters overwhelmingly elected Grijalva to the House.
- Johnson's move is seen as an attempt to block a vote on the release of the Epstein files.
Democrats are stepping up their protests, with Grijalva joining dozens of House Democrats in marching to Johnson's office to demand that she be sworn into office.
