(GoRealNewsNow.com) – As if her road to re-election to the United States House of Representatives in November wasn’t already difficult enough, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) just received bad news.
According to multiple sources, a group of Colorado Republicans will pick someone to replace U.S. Representative Ken Buck for the rest of his term today.
That person might also compete against Representative Lauren Boebert for a full term in a new area she hasn’t represented before.
This decision is grabbing a lot of attention because it’s not something that happens often and is a bit confusing. The person they choose is likely to win a special election against the Democrat candidate, helping the Republicans keep their narrow lead in the U.S. House.
But there’s more to it. The committee is expected to pick someone who is already trying to win the same seat Boebert is after. Boebert decided to stay in her current role in her old district, so the committee will probably pick one of her competitors.
The chosen candidate will get a lot of attention, media coverage, and chances to raise money by being in two races for the same seat until the June election. This is a big deal for those who don’t have as much recognition or money as Boebert.
Seth Masket, a political expert, said Ken Buck’s departure has made things more complicated. Boebert has called this a sneaky plan by political insiders to influence the election.
Boebert is known for her strong, right-wing political stance and has been in the news for both controversies and endorsements from big names like former President Donald Trump.
She defended her decision to switch districts, saying she still wants to be in Congress and that her move makes it easier for Republicans to keep control of the House.
Boebert’s opportunity to switch came when Buck announced he wouldn’t run again, criticizing his party’s support for Trump. Then, Buck resigned suddenly earlier this month, tired of the arguing and problems in Congress, leaving his seat on March 22.
