Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.
Clay Fuller, a local district attorney and lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard, will be sworn in by Mike Johnson. Fuller described himself as a “reinforcement” for Johnson and said his victory was “extremely crucial.” The swearing-in will bring the House Republican conference to 219 members. The Democrats may soon boost their ranks by one to 215 with a special election in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District. The ritual of filling vacant seats continues, with another special election scheduled in California’s 1st Congressional District. As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
