Jim doesn't usually like to let us know what he is talking about, so I googled this. Apparently...
Apparently there was a special election in Arizona which was won by the daughter of the previous representative, and they want Johnson to swear her in immediately. At least, I'm guessing this is what he is talking about.
Johnson says he will do it after the Democrats in the Senate stop voting for the shutdown, at which time the House will return from its extended recess and the swearing in will take place.
So, I guess it could happen at any time after the Democrats agree to open the government back up.
The House does not have to be in session for swearing-ins to happen
In fact there were two GOP house members sworn in recently during a break - at Christmas, I believe.
It's Trump's orders.
Probably correct. I was just outlining the situation for Jim's audience.

He is under orders not to.
Dead serious here. He’s the weakest Speaker in American history.
As I said at the time, ousting McCarthy was an own goal for the dems.
And a gift to Trump.
Sure, except the dems did not “oust” McCarthy

Every single Democrat voted for it.

The other party is not going to vote for the opposing speaker. Can't blame the Dems.

This is another failure of your binary democracy.
There are a few principles members that will vote with the other party when appropriate.
Why did the Gaetz squad want McCarthy gone? For working with Democrats.
Who knew it could get worse?...but then it was the GOP's choice among a host of spineless
options...Judge Michael Luttig would agree.

It would require Johnson to read the oath of office he violates on a daily basis.
The Speaker is struggling to recite it with a straight face.
he’s following Moscow Mitch’s play book.
