Three days after being sworn into Congress, Representative Peter Meijer, Republican of Michigan, was sitting in the gallery of the House of Representatives as pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol.

We talk with Mr. Meijer about his decision, his party and his ambitions.
Guest: Representative Peter Meijer, a first-term Republican congressman from Michigan.
