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.

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.)

“He cannot be the next president because if he is, all of the things that he attempted to do but was stopped from doing by responsible people … he will do. There will be no guardrails. And everyone has been left warned.”

Some of Donald Trump’s critics — including conservative legal figures — have been arguing that his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results were not only illegal, but also, disqualify him from running for president in 2024 under the insurrection clause in the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump traveled to Michigan, one day after the other, to speak directly to working-class voters in what amounted to a preview of a likely 2024 campaign.
Their dueling styles were on clear display as the two men tried to woo voters affected by the United Automobile Workers strike. Mr. Biden has campaigned on a message of bolstering the middle class, protecting democratic norms and countering China. Mr. Trump, a criminal defendant several times over, has focused on vindicating himself, channeling conservative grievances and promoting America-first policies.
