Speaker Mike Johnson is not planning to allow Democrats newest congresswoman-elect to be sworn-in until her party agrees to end the government shutdown, despite telling CNN earlier Tuesday that he would swear her in as soon as she wants.
We will swear in Rep.-Elect [Adelita] Grijalva as soon as the House returns to session when Chuck Schumer, Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego decide to open up the government, a leadership aide said Tuesday.
The move amounts to an extraordinary power play to deny a sitting member a seat.
While the leadership aide contended its a customary practice in the House to swear in members when the chamber is in legislative session, Johnson swore in Florida GOP Reps. Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine during a pro forma session earlier this year.
