Grijalva Sworn In, Narrowing House Balance

Adelita Grijalva, Democrat from Arizona, was sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives on November 15th, narrowing the partisan balance to 220-214. She pledged to continue her late fathers work, focusing on progressive policies, environmental issues, labor rights, and tribal sovereignty. Her delayed seating sparked controversy, but she confirmed she will sign a petition to release Epstein-related documents, potentially triggering a vote. On her first day, she faced a vote on federal government funding legislation, expected to be opposed by most Democrats due to ACA concerns. DNN | The Daily News Now!
