""I can't see another reason," Grijalva told the publication. "It doesn't change the majority, Democrats are still in the minority. That seems to be the only outstanding issue that I can see.""
""Historically, you do it when the House is in session other than pro forma,""
House Republicans prevented a continuing resolution and gavelled out during a pro forma session, delaying the swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. The delay leaves residents in southern Arizona without constituent services during the government shutdown. The gaveling out also prevents, for now, a discharge petition that could have allowed a bipartisan measure to make federal investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein public. Grijalva said the delay does not change the chamber's majority and suggested the outstanding issue was blocking the discharge petition. Republican leaders justified the timing by noting the session was pro forma.
