Dispute Over Swearing-In Continues

Democratic Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes threatened to file a lawsuit over the stalled swearing-in of U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Tucson.

Republicans blamed Democrats for the situation. “As I have said repeatedly, the House will follow customary practice by swearing in Rep.-elect Grijalva when the House is in legislative session,” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said.

The ongoing dispute comes amid more debate in the U.S. Senate over ending the partial government shutdown, with a GOP proposal for a simple funding extension drawing support from a majority of senators but not the 60 needed.

Mayes said she could file a lawsuit as early as this week. “He’s got two days to get back to me,” she said of Johnson.
