Arizona special House election could be a tipping point on releasing the Epstein files

Arizona's 7th Congressional District special election on Tuesday will likely reduce the Republicans' House majority. Democrat Adelita Grijalva, daughter of the deceased Rep. Raúl Grijalva, is favored to win against Republican Daniel Butierez. The election's outcome will likely determine the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, as both candidates pledged to sign a discharge petition requiring a vote on the matter. Currently, the petition has 217 signatures, one short of the required number to force a vote. The election also holds broader implications for the House's overall power balance, with Republicans holding a narrow majority.
