"I am planning to travel to Washington, D.C., after hearing through Leader Jeffries and media reports that Speaker Johnson finally intends to swear me in,"
"Just as I promised, as soon as we get back to legislative session, so I mean, before we have this vote that we're talking about, she'll be administered to the oath."
Grijalva pledged to be the final signature on a discharge petition to force the Justice Department to release documents from its case against the late convicted sex offender and billionaire financier. Speaker Mike Johnson and the White House opposed the effort, which has support from mostly Democrats and a handful of Republicans. Johnson will perform Grijalva's ceremonial swearing in at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday at 4pm ET, just before the House begins votes to reopen the government after a nearly seven-week shutdown. Democrats had unsuccessfully tried to get Grijalva sworn in during pro forma sessions, making the delay the longest in over a decade. Grijalva won a decisive special election on Sept. 23 to succeed her father, the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva.
