Rep. Lauren Boebert Defends District Switch Amid 'Carpetbagging' Accusations

Boebert, who switched from Colorado's 3rd to 4th District, faced criticism in the first Republican primary debate, but defended her move by stating the values in the new district align with hers.

Rep. Lauren Boebert has switched districts, moving from Colorado's 3rd District to the 4th, prompting accusations of 'carpetbagging' from her Republican primary opponents.
Boebert's move was partly due to fear of losing in the district she currently represents, after a narrow victory in the last election.
Despite the criticism, Boebert defended her move, stating that while the crops may differ between districts, the values do not.
The debate focused on national political issues such as border security, abortion, and fentanyl, with Boebert highlighting her conservative voting record.
Boebert's primary rivals seemed hesitant to directly attack her onstage, similar to early debates among Republican presidential primary candidates who avoided criticism of Trump.
