"Death threats and deadlock: The struggle for Jim Jordan as Speaker"

U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks has received death threats after voting against Representative Jim Jordan for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Jordan, a hardline conservative, has failed to secure the necessary support from his own party in two House votes. Miller-Meeks, a Republican from Iowa, initially voted for Jordan but switched her vote to Representative Kay Granger. She has since received threatening calls and multiple death threats, prompting her to notify the authorities. Jordan has faced opposition from lawmakers who question his ability to unite the party and have criticized the bullying tactics of his supporters.
