Boebert's Bid for Colorado's 4th District Complicated by Buck's Early Retirement

Lauren Boebert opts out of the special election, focusing on the GOP primary amid accusations and a challenging path ahead.

Rep. Ken Buck's early retirement triggers a special election in Colorado, complicating Rep. Lauren Boebert's campaign plans.
Boebert opts out of the special election to focus on the GOP primary for Colorado's 4th district, aiming to avoid jeopardizing the GOP's slim House majority.
Boebert criticizes Buck's early departure as 'weak sauce' and alleges a 'swampy backroom deal' to rig the election against her.
The special election and GOP primary for Buck's seat are scheduled for the same day, June 25, potentially confusing voters.
Boebert, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, faces a challenging path to secure the 4th district seat amid accusations of being a 'carpetbagger'.
