When it comes to seating Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Mike Johnson is running out of excuses — and facing a possible court fight.
The Arizona Democrat would be the decisive signature on a petition to force a vote on releasing the records. But Speaker Mike Johnson says he will not swear her in until after the shutdown is over.
