Boebert Faces Uphill Battle in Bid to Switch Districts
-
Rep. Lauren Boebert faces an uphill battle in her bid to switch districts and win the seat of retiring Rep. Ken Buck. She must convince voters to split their tickets.
-
Boebert will not run in the special election to finish Buck's term, not wanting to give up her current seat. She slammed the special election date being set for the same day as the regular primary.
-
Boebert barely won reelection in her current district in 2022. Now she's running in a new eastern Colorado district after a series of controversies and headlines.
-
Boebert has the endorsement of Donald Trump and a significant financial advantage over other Republican primary candidates. But some call her a "carpetbagger."
-
The Republican nominee for the special election will have an advantage, but Boebert still faces convincing voters in an entirely new district to choose her. Sentiment appears mixed.
