House Republican Lauren Boebert is polling 14 points behind potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District according to a survey conducted on behalf of his campaign.
The poll found McCorkle, a former Marine, would get 43 percent of the vote against 27 percent for Boebert—with another 33 percent of voters undecided.
In December 2023, Boebert, a Donald Trump-supporting GOP hardliner who represents Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District in the House, announced she wanted to run for the state’s traditionally more conservative 4th District in a surprise move. Boebert said she made the move seeking a “fresh start” after a “pretty difficult year for me and my family,” but critics argued she was worried about losing to Democrat Adam Frisch—who she narrowly beat by around 500 votes in November 2022.
😂 So Frisch will probably get her old district and another Democrat will probably get the “traditionally conservative” stronghold she tried to flee to? Really Lauren, I can almost forgive your endless asshattery and the mockery you’ve made of your own position in our government for this.
Yeah, I was about to say didn’t she already move to a “safe” district?
She can be like a Dem Johnny Appleseed, just keep running in the most conservative CO districts till they all flip blue.
Someone get on this with photoshop or stable diffusion!
What if she’s a double agent for the democratic party? An antifa plant meant to flip republican seats for the coming of the second anti-christ after Donald Trump defeated Hillary.
No, neither candidate has won their primary yet, as the article.makes clear.
The Republican debate was last night. It was a bit of a shitshow, about zero policy talk. Mostly character attacks against Boebert.
Does it happen often, other than by a presidential tier candidate, that one single representative tier politician makes multiple districts flip?
The Republican bench is getting weirder with every cycle, as normal people no longer consider the job particular prestigious or even that lucrative. Its very possible for Dems to lose the Presidency, hold the Senate, and retake the House as the dark red gerrymandered seats attract people too weird even for the GOP base vote.
