Lauren Boebert’s New Fundraising Tactic Blasted by CO Republican
Colorado Republican Representative Ken Buck blasted Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s new fundraising tactic, calling it “fundamentally unfair.”
Buck planned to retire at the end of his term in January 2025 over frustration with his own party but announced on Tuesday that he would be departing from office earlier than expected on March 22. Boebert, a Republican who serves Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, has been campaigning for Buck’s seat in Colorado’s 4th District.

Donald Trump and the Jefferson Davis Problem
State courts in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota and elsewhere have so far declined to rule in favor of challenges asserting that Donald Trump should be disqualified from holding the presidency again under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. (Cases in Michigan and Colorado have been appealed.)
Challengers assert that Mr. Trump is barred because, as stated in Section 3, he was an officer of the United States who, after taking an oath to support the Constitution, “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the country or gave “aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” before and during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Mr. Trump and his campaign have called this claim an absurd conspiracy theory and labeled efforts to bar him as election interference. Some election officials and legal scholars — many of them otherwise opposed to the former president — have also been critical of the efforts.
