Who was terrified and was helping officers bock the doors of the House as during the insurrection. Is his name on the ballot this time and is anyone running against him?

OP
It was Georgia's Andrew Clyde. He later called the insurrectionists "tourists."

He also refused to shake the policeman's hand after it was over. It wasn't him helping them

It was shortly after rioters had breached the Capitol on Jan. 6 and the scene inside the building was chaotic.
Authorities deployed tear gas in Statuary Hall, rioters were heading to the House chamber, members were being told to put on gas masks, and the Capitol Police were clearly outnumbered.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), one of the dozens of lawmakers inside the House chamber, first leapt into action, helping an officer barricade the door on the House floor that leads to Statuary Hall. Texas freshman Reps. Troy Nehls, Tony Gonzales, Pat Fallon and Ronny Jackson, a Navy veteran, also soon joined Mullin in preparing to defend the chamber.

rioters outside as he was coming in, and then later we see him running around to escape them while inside. Coward and traitor. Never forget.
