Adelita Grijalva Finally Set to be Sworn in After Lengthy Delay
Arizona representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is poised to be sworn in after a protracted wait of over seven weeks since her election victory. The decision by House Speaker Mike Johnson to delay her swearing-in has sparked controversy and discussions surrounding constitutional rights and the implications of such delays. Leading senators and fellow representatives, including Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene, have urged Johnson to proceed with her swearing-in, emphasizing the need for Grijalva to fulfill her congressional duties. Grijalva has expressed frustration over the lengthy process, labeling it as negligent and cruel, and is finally expecting to take the oath of office soon.
