Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) on Thursday said he and his family had received death threats after he opted not to vote for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for the second time this week.
Mr. Ferguson, whose district includes most of Atlanta’s southern suburbs and portions of Columbus, voted for Mr. Jordan in the first speaker vote on Tuesday. A day later, the Georgia lawmaker was among four House Republicans who turned away from Mr. Jordan in the second vote.
