Adelita Grijalva Takes Oath of Office

Grijalva was sworn into the House after a delay of more than seven weeks and signed a petition seeking the release of Epstein-related files. Left-leaning outlets emphasize her remarks around the swearing-in, particularly her criticism of the delay. Center outlets focus more on the timeline, competing explanations and petition signing. Right-leaning outlets connect her signature to the petition’s political stakes, while one article portrays the invited guests and Democrats’ criticism of the delay as a political stunt.
