House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to swear in the newly-elected Adelita Grijalva while the government is shut down, leaving the residents of her sprawling southern Arizona district without a vote in Congress — or help back home.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has refused to swear in Grijalva, a Democrat, while the government is shut down, leaving the residents of her sprawling southern Arizona district without a vote in Congress — or help back home.

Grijalva would be the decisive 218th member to support a discharge petition and force a House vote on the Epstein files over the objections of Johnson and Trump.

Grijalva has asserted the delay is an attempt to block a vote on the Epstein files. Among her supporters, that’s a given.
