Trump Loves to Play With Fire - The New York Times

To be a Republican politician in the age of Donald Trump is to live under the threat of violence from his most fanatical and aggressive followers. After former Representative Peter Meijer of Michigan voted to impeach President Trump in the House in the same case, he purchased body armor as a precaution against the threats on his life. Republicans who voted against Representative Jim Jordan — a staunch Trump ally — for House speaker during last year’s leadership standoff received death threats targeting themselves and their families. Jack Smith, the federal special counsel who is leading multiple criminal investigations into Trump, was also the victim of swatting. So was Shenna Bellows, the Maine secretary of state who removed the former president from the state primary ballot.

House Republicans are scheduled to meet behind closed doors Monday evening to try to regain control of their majority ahead of possible speaker votes this week. “House Republicans need to unite and show the country that we’re fighting for them,” Jordan said Sunday on Fox News. While the full House ultimately votes on the new speaker, the position usually falls to a person from the party with the House majority. The rules around the temporary speaker position have been untested before, though they appear to indicate the main power in the role is to ensure the election of a new speaker. But if House Republicans are unable to quickly agree on a speaker, McHenry could be in the position for some time.

House Republicans are offering competing demands for whoever wants to be the next speaker. AP Photo/Carolyn KasterBefore this week, no House speaker had ever been removed by the so-called "motion to vacate." His successor and House Republicans as a whole must now determine its future. Republicans vote amongst themselves — likely next week — behind closed doors for who should be the next speaker. Traditionally, Republicans would then vote for this candidate in the public vote on the House floor.
