House Speaker Mike Johnson has been roasted by the congresswoman who waited nearly two months for him to swear her in. Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva, 55, finally got her moment with Johnson on Wednesday after the House returned.

Fifty days after winning her late father’s seat in Congress, Rep. Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn in. The Tucson Democrat immediately attacked Speaker Mike Johnson, calling the unprecedented delay an "abuse of power.

The representative-elect and the state of Arizona sued Johnson in October 2025 over his refusal to swear her in.

The Arizona Democrat won her race in September, but Speaker Mike Johnson has waited to swear her in until today. Grijalva has vowed to be the decisive signature in a bid to release the Epstein files.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) on Wednesday afternoon, setting the stage for a fight over a push to release more files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
