Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer was among the lawmakers in the Capitol's House chamber last January during the pro-Trump riot just three days after he was sworn in to his first term. He voted with nine fellow Republicans to impeach then-President Donald Trump. That vote has resulted in death threats and now, a Trump-endorsed primary challenger to his reelection bid. Meijer joins Judy Woodruff for more. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
