Lauren Boebert is in serious trouble
When House Republican Lauren Boebert won reelection by only about five hundred votes in 2022, the question was whether this was just a one-off incursion that didn’t quite take her down, or if there was actual momentum here. We’re starting to get a rather clear answer.
Democrat Adam Frisch, who nearly beat Boebert last time, is now vastly out-fundraising her so far in the 2024 race. Frisch will need the superior funds, because Colorado’s 3rd district does still lean Republican. But to give you an idea of how things are shaping up, Cook Political Report just shifted this particular House race from “Lean Republican” to “Toss Up.” In other words it’s a dead heat and Frisch has the momentum.
Lauren Boebert is in deep trouble here. She’s still behaving like an unhinged extremist, even after her constituents in her district just finished making clear that they’re way closer to the center than she is. Boebert’s ongoing clueless idiocy, along with Frisch’s clear strength as a candidate, is putting Boebert in real peril of losing her seat. But like we said, this is going to be a close race one way or the other. You can volunteer or donate to Democratic candidate Adam Frisch here.
