28. That election in December is completely irrelevant.

Mon Nov 10, 2025, 08:44 AM

Monday

The discharge petition requires the signatures of a majority of members of a full House. That means 218 (1/2 of 435 +1) . 213 Democrats and 4 Republicans have signed the petition. 215 Republicans have refused to sign it. Grijalva will be signature number 218. The results of the 2 remaining open seat special elections make no difference.

Besides that, the House passing the legislation is still a long way from the files being released. Once the House passes, the Senate still needs to pass it then Trump sign it (which will not happen).

But the House will force the vote on the legislation. The House MUST reconvene to reopen the government. Once that happens, Grijalva MUST be sworn in (the Courts will order it if necessary).
