1WASHINGTON, DC – A tense standoff erupted inside the U.S. Capitol Wednesday morning when a group of Democratic lawmakers surged toward House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office, demanding that he “swear her in” as security scrambled to regain control.

Witnesses inside the Capitol corridor described a sudden burst of shouting as more than a dozen representatives, led by California Democrat Nanette Barragán, pushed past a single Capitol Police officer stationed outside the Speaker’s suite.
