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.
