Rep. Lauren Boebert's district-switching gambit hangs over Colorado primary race
CBSN
Washington — Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing voters in a new district on Tuesday, as Coloradans head to the polls in the state's primaries, where they will determine whether Boebert's district-switching gambit pays off.
Boebert, who was first elected in 2020 and narrowly won reelection in Colorado's 3rd District in 2022, opted to run in a district more friendly to conservatives this year following former Rep. Ken Buck's decision not to seek reelection. She's one of six Republicans vying for their party's nomination in Colorado's 4th Congressional District on Tuesday, raising the profile of the race in the process.
While Boebert won her reelection bid in Colorado's 3rd District, which makes up a large portion of the western and southern part of the state, by just over 500 votes in 2022, Colorado's 4th District, a majority of which is made up of the state's Eastern Plains, is far more safe for Republicans. Voters in the district backed former President Donald Trump in 2020, and Buck won reelection handily in 2022 with more than 60% of the vote.
