Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) swore in Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) on Wednesday, more than a month after she was elected to fill the House seat.

The ceremony, which occurred at around 4 p.m. on the House floor, took place right before the lower chamber is slated to vote on a funding measure to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. Grijalva succeeds her late father, former Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who died in March at the age of 77.

Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, was met with applause and cheers from Democrats as she entered the House chamber for her swearing-in ceremony.

Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) gave her a hug. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) followed right behind her. The chamber was filled with commotion and chatter among lawmakers after the House was out of session for more than a month.

Democrats also applauded after she was sworn in.

Trump, allies reach out to Boebert, Mace ahead of Epstein discharge petition deadline

President Trump and other administration officials reached out to key Republicans who have signed on to an effort to force a vote on releasing files about Jeffrey Epstein in the hours before the push was set to succeed on Wednesday.

CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel planned to meet with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.).

Trump also called Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on Wednesday morning, but she missed his call and had been playing phone tag with him as of early Wednesday afternoon, a source told The Hill, adding that there had not been outreach from White House staff.
