Colorado House Republican Ken Buck has hinted the GOP could suffer more resignations after announcing he will step down at the end of the week, further shrinking his party’s already wafer thin majority in the chamber.

My favorite thing is that he [blindsided] Johnson with a voicemail.

Can you explain the Boebert issue a bit more? Why would she want to run in a special election when she already has a seat?

Boebert is attempting to change districts in Colorado. She was likely looking at losing her current seat anyway in CO3 after an extremely close 2022 election energized Democratic fundraising, so she decided to carpetbag her way over to CO4 (Buck’s district, where he was retiring anyway) which has not been going well for her.

Problem now is, with Buck leaving early, she can’t run in the CO4 special election without resigning her current seat in CO3. And based on the polling, she isn’t winning the primary in CO.
