Republican U.S. Rep Ken Buck said Thursday that he received four death threats and has been evicted from a congressional office in his district for opposing U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan’s bid for House speaker as the GOP-controlled chamber went another day without electing a leader.

Buck is one of 24 House Republicans who voted for someone other than Jordan this week in two inconclusive rounds of balloting that left the Ohio Republican short of the majority required to take the gavel.

The five-term lawmaker from Windsor told NBC News that he isn’t going to change his vote and suggested that Jordan end his candidacy, adding that the latter “may need another vote to be convinced that he’s not going to get there.”

The House hasn’t been able to conduct business since Oct. 3, when eight Republicans – including Buck – joined with all of the chamber’s Democrats to vote out Kevin McCarthy as speaker after the California Republican had to rely on Democratic votes to approve a last-minute, temporary spending measure to avert a government shutdown.

Since then, GOP lawmakers have struggled to elect a speaker and appeared no closer to a resolution late Thursday.

Buck cast votes for House Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota for speaker in roll call votes on Tuesday and Wednesday, while the other two House Republicans from Colorado, U.S. Reps. Doug Lamborn and Lauren Boebert, voted both times for Jordan. All five of the state’s Democratic lawmakers voted for their party’s leader, Hakeem Jeffries of New York.

House Republicans scheduled a third vote for Friday morning after Jordan met with holdouts, who told reporters they aren’t going to budge.

The discussions followed a tumultuous day on Capitol Hill, including an hours-long meeting of House Republicans that turned tense, reportedly devolving into brief bouts of shouting between lawmakers.

Buck said one reason tempers flared at the meeting was the “constant barrage” of phone calls and threats aimed at lawmakers and their family members.

“So far, I’ve had four death threats,” Buck said. “I’ve been evicted from my office in Colorado – I have notice of an eviction because the landlord is mad with my voting record on the speaker issue – and everybody in the conference is getting this, so it’s natural. Family members have been approached and threatened, all kinds of things are going on. There’s going to be some tension.”

Buck hastened to add that he isn’t suggesting it is Jordan’s fault.

“There are a lot of TV pundits or a lot of radio pundits or a lot of grassroots groups that are putting out misinformation and hateful information,” he said. “And it just stirs people up. There are a lot of people that are scared about the direction of this country, and they’re taking this to heart.”

Several Republican House members who aren’t backing Jordan have alleged this week that they’ve been subject to bullying and intimidation tactics from Jordan supporters.

Republican U.S. Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa and Drew Ferguson of Georgia both posted Wednesday on social media on that they had received death threats after changing their votes in the second round from Jordan to another Republican.

“That is simply unacceptable, unforgivable, and will never be tolerated,” Ferguson tweeted.

Buck’s office told Colorado Politics that the threats he’s gotten have been reported to authorities for investigation.

Additionally, his office said the landlord had given Buck 30 days to vacate the congressman’s district office in Windsor.

Colorado Politics was unable to reach the building’s owner on Thursday night.

Buck told NBC News that his office has six full-time staffers answering the phones and still has 20,000 messages from calls they couldn’t answer.

He added that lawmakers should work to turn down the temperature.

“Politics is downstream from the reality that we have in this country, and we have a country that is very divided at this point,” he said. “What we need to do in Congress is to make sure we don’t throw some gasoline on that fire. We need to make sure that we are talking in ways that soothe the tensions and not inflame the tensions.”

At the Republicans’ earlier meeting, Jordan first proposed, then withdrew, a plan to grant powers to the temporary speaker appointed by McCarthy, North Carolina Republican Patrick McHenry, whose authority doesn’t appear to extend beyond supervising the election for a permanent speaker.

The proposal drew strong opposition from some hardline Republicans, including Boebert.

“I will not sit back and watch a complete betrayal of the GOP base with this ‘plan’ that’s being discussed,” Boebert tweeted. “I ran because I was sick and tired of politicians coming up here and cutting deals and releasing ‘holier than thou’ statements about why we just had to accept it.”

After Jordan pulled the plan and declared he intended to take his bid for speaker to another vote, Boebert tweeted: “@Jim_Jordan for Speaker! Let’s freakin’ go!”

Lamborn indicated his support for the plan early on Thursday in a statement.

“The U.S. House of Representatives is paralyzed without having a fully empowered speaker,” he said. “While I support the majority pick, Jim Jordan, to keep things moving forward, we should also give Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry the power and authority to fully operate as speaker and pass a necessary Israel aid package.”

Spokespeople for several of the state’s House Democrats said on Thursday that they support the plan in principle, arguing that the House has pressing business to conduct, but want to see details before committing to it.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, the dean of the state’s congressional delegation, told Colorado Politics on Wednesday that a bipartisan solution could be the only way out of the House’s unprecedented gridlock.

“Whether that involves giving more powers to the speaker pro tem for a short period of time, or a new speaker who comes in and and we agree to things like a budget, a resolution funding Ukraine and Israel aid, things like that – I’m gonna leave that to other powers that are negotiating this, but it’s clear that we need to have a bipartisan solution across the aisle,” she said.

Buck said he understood why GOP leaders decided to derail the plan once it became clear there was significant Republican opposition, even if enough Republicans were willing to join with Democrats to put it into effect.

“I agree that it can’t happen as a bipartisan effort,” he told NBC News, adding that there needs to be a sufficient number of Republican votes to elect a new speaker or make McHenry a temporary speaker on their own.

“I think it would be politically unwise to try to go back to our base and say, ‘Give us the votes, give us the money, give us the resources to win elections,’ after we had to use the Democrats to make the House floor functional. So, I think there will be that realization when Jim Jordan decides to step away,” he said.
