On Wednesday, a group of Democratic lawmakers stormed the office of House Speaker Mike Johnson, demanding immediate action to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz. The incident occurred as part of a broader dispute over the procedural delays in confirming newly elected members of the House.
The confrontation reflects the deepening divisions within the House as Democrats push for swift legislative action. The delay in swearing in Grijalva has sparked significant backlash, with some members arguing that the process is being unduly prolonged.
Johnson has faced mounting pressure to resolve the deadlock, with many Democrats accusing him of obstructing the proceedings. The situation has intensified as the House grapples with an unfinished legislative agenda and a series of stalled bills.
