Speaker Johnson continues to resist swearing in Democratic Rep.-elect Grijalva

[Dulcinea]

(ABC News) Speaker Mike Johnson is resisting calls to swear in Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, saying Monday that he will administer the oath of office to her after the Senate votes to reopen the government.

As Democrats decry the almost monthlong delay, Johnson has maintained that he is "following the Pelosi precedent" — when three Republicans who had won special elections during recess waited until the House returned to session before then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi swore them into office.

Grijalva won her special election on Sept. 23 — four days after Johnson dismissed lawmakers following House passage of the clean continuing resolution to fund the government. Since the last vote in the House, Republicans have canceled 14 days of legislative business — including four days this week — as the impasse drags on.

1. Anyone else get the feeling that even if Dems cave and pass the CR and

Congress re-opens, that Johnson will continue to block swearing in Grijalva?

After all, nobody believed that the Senate Majority Leader would block a nominee to the Supreme Court.
