Pelosi took 25 days to administer her the oath. We didn't, we didn't have protest and go, you know, doing TikTok videos about it because we understood that's just the way the process works. Two Democrats, Pat Bryan and Joe Simpolinski, were elected in a special election during the August recess. And so she appropriately waited 21 days to administer the oath to them after we got back to legislative session. We're doing exactly how this has always worked throughout the years. (15:20–15:29)
