Lauren Boebert's House race heats up as deep-red district inches left: report
Raw StoryAfter far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert narrowly avoided losing — by just 546 votes — in 2022 and was deluged with bad press after being ejected from the "Beetlejuice" musical for lewd behavior, she jumped congressional districts, moving from the slightly conservative 3rd Congressional District to the deep-red 4th Congressional District vacated by retiring Trump critic Rep. Ken Buck. Per Paige Oamek, the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election forecasting outfit, "reported that Boebert has lost ground in Colorado’s 4th congressional district, and moved the race from 'likely Republican' to 'lean Republican.' Though the MAGA Republican is still holding onto a small lead, that seems to be mostly thanks to the heavily Republican makeup of the district, rather than any tactful campaigning by Boebert." The two recently debated, ending with Calvarese mocking Boebert over a perceived "meltdown" in response to criticism over her votes against veterans' benefits.
