Rep. Lauren Boebert, a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has won the Republican primary in Colorado’s new 3rd Congressional District. Her victory, which comes after a controversial tenure in Congress, suggests a continued appetite for aggressive, pro-Trump politicians within the GOP, despite their often-scandalous behavior. Boebert’s campaign, which mirrored Trump’s, focused on issues like illegal immigration and the economy, emphasizing her hard-line stance.
President Biden quipped that it is “classified” whether his “Dark Brandon” alter ego played a role in Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) decision to leave her district after facing a tough reelection race.
Boebert, who was previously considered a safe Republican incumbent, ended up winning her race by only a narrow margin. She then announced that she would be running for a different seat in a more conservative district, a move that some have found puzzling.
Biden’s joke suggests that he may have had something to do with Boebert’s decision, but the president did not provide any further details. The comment was made during a meeting with progressive news outlet MeidasTouch Network, which has been critical of Boebert in the past.
US Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has seen a significant decrease in fundraising from individual donors after switching to a more conservative congressional district. According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Boebert raised around $388,805 from individuals in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.7 million in 2023. Despite her lead in the primary race, Syracuse University political science professor Grant Davis Reeher said the drop in funding could raise concerns.
