Buck resignation triggers Colorado special election shuffle, Boebert maneuvers to safer seat while abortion rights remain a flashpoint
-
Rep. Ken Buck is resigning his seat early, leaving the GOP House majority even narrower and triggering a special election.
-
Rep. Lauren Boebert narrowly won re-election in 2022 but opted to run in the safer CO-4 district after Buck's resignation.
-
Boebert chose not to run in the CO-4 special election in June, avoiding having to immediately give up her CO-3 seat.
-
By not running in the special, Boebert made it harder for herself in 2024 when she'll likely face that election's winner.
-
Vice President Harris made history by visiting a Planned Parenthood clinic, keeping abortion rights front and center.
