Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Congressional Democrats continued their Capitol protest for a second straight day to have Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn in to fill a House vacancy created by her father's death.
Democratic congressional lawmakers and their supporters briefly gathered outside the Capitol office of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday and on Wednesday held another press event outside the Capitol to demand Johnson immediately swear in Grijalva.
The Democratic Women's Caucus organized Tuesday's protest and chanted "swear her in" while walking to Johnson's office, according to Axios.
"Speaker Johnson keeps changing the story of why he can't swear her in," Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez, Democratic Women's Caucus chair, told Axios.
