Collins probed further. “So, you’re saying because it’s a pro forma session. That’s why?”

“Yeah, because there’s like, there’s two people on the floor, you know, whatever,” Jordan responded. “There’s– but normally it’s done in front of the full House. That new member in a special election gets, I think in some ways a kind of a neat experience where they get to talk to the House, their first day getting sworn in. And that’s happened every single time that I can recall with any new member elected in a special [election] in the middle of a congressional session.”

Collins countered by noting exceptions. “But a couple months ago, he swore in Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine in a pro forma session,” she said.

Jordan appeared caught off guard. “I, I, I, didn’t, I actually didn’t even know that when they were sworn in,” he said, before repeating that new members normally receive introductions in front of the full House.
