Buck's Resignation Sparks Special Election, Complicates Boebert's Campaign

Rep. Ken Buck's early departure from Congress triggers a special election, putting Rep. Lauren Boebert in a challenging position as she seeks to secure his seat.

Rep. Ken Buck's early resignation triggers a special election in Colorado's 4th District, complicating Rep. Lauren Boebert's bid for the seat.
Boebert, facing a tough reelection battle, opts not to run in the special election to avoid vacating her current seat and further narrowing the GOP's House majority.
Buck rebuffs claims his resignation aims to disadvantage Boebert, emphasizing his frustration with congressional gridlock and desire for election reform.
Observers note Boebert's strategic switch to the 4th District to evade a competitive race against Democrat Adam Frisch in her current district.
The special election, set for the same day as the primary, raises concerns about voter confusion and the potential for a lame-duck congressman.
