Do the Epstein Files have anything to do with it? Besides the premium talks, I thought that one Arizona rep will give the final vote to release them, no?
Seems so:
The petition's final two signatures were to come from Democrats: James Walkinshaw after he won the Virginia 11th District special election on September 9[159] and Adelita Grijalva (expected) after she won the Arizona 7th congressional district special election on September 23.[160] Though Walkinshaw was sworn in the day after the election, Grijalva was treated differently. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would wait until the state certified her victory.[161] He then canceled the House sessions for the last two days of September while facing an impending government shutdown[162] and said he would not call the House back into session until the government was operating again.[163][164] On October 14, the Arizona Secretary of State certified the election result.[165] On October 21, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes sued Johnson, seeking to force him to swear in Grijalva.[166] That day, Johnson told Fox Business that the delay "has zero to do with Epstein", given that "the Epstein files are being released. There's 43,000 pages now out there".[167] That number apparently referred mainly to the House Oversight Committee's releases on September 2 and October 17.
