Folks, in an unexpected and cowardly move, Lauren Boebert is ditching her congressional district. She's currently representing Colorado's third congressional district, which is a plus nine Republican district. Let me repeat that a plus nine Republican congressional district. However, Lauren Boebert is so concerned about losing in the upcoming 2024 elections to Adam Frisch who nearly defeated her in the midterms. He lost by only about 600 votes to Lauren Boebert. Lauren Boebert has decided to abandon her congressional district and she will now be running in the fourth congressional district, which is being vacated by Ken Buck, who is leaving the House of Representatives after being so disenchanted by MAGA taking over the Republican Party and Republicans in the House of Representatives, refusing to state that President Joe Biden was the winner of the 2020 election. Lauren Boebert announced this news on, you guessed it, a Facebook post will play you that announcement in just a moment. But here's how it's being reported by Colorado's son. I always want to give a shout out to local media where I can. So this is from the Colorado son, Jesse Paul writes, Lauren Boebert will switch congressional districts to improve her chances of winning in 2024. Boebert will run in Colorado's fourth congressional district next year instead of the third congressional district because the fourth district is viewed as more favorable to Republicans. I mean, more favorable. The third congressional district's a plus nine. By the way, that tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans are so fearful of the 2024 elections. It talks about how Lauren Boebert announced on her Facebook that she'll be leaving Colorado's third congressional district running instead for Colorado's fourth congressional district because the fourth district leans 27 points towards GOP, where the third district only leans 9 percentage points that this bombshell announcement was made on Lauren Boebert's Facebook page. It talks about how she had a narrow victory in 2022 by a little more than 500 or so votes slightly under 600 votes. The article goes on to talk about the Beetlejuice incident where Lauren Boebert was seen on surveillance footage, fondling her then boyfriend while blowing vape smoke on people at this public theater in Denver. It also talks about a lot of her other foibles and her disgusting statements that she's made and her general oddity and dangerous and out of touch behavior with her congressional district. It talks about how Boebert, a 37 year old divorce mother of four boys, who is also a grandmother lives in Garfield County near the town of Silt, which is hundreds of miles from the fourth district's boundaries. However, members of Congress don't have to live in their district. Just the state the district is in. So she doesn't have to move to run for the fourth district, which she has no attachment to in which she does not live in. It talks about how Boebert had $1.4 million in her third district campaign account at the end of September, money that she can use for her run for the fourth district. But it talks about how when it comes to the fourth congressional district since Ken Buck announced that he would be leaving. That's the Republican, as I mentioned at the outset of this video, currently holding that congressional seat. A lot of other candidates have already put their hat in that they're vying to replace Buck. You have former state Senator Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling. He's currently the Logan County commissioner. You've got state representative Richard Haltorf of Akron. You've got conservative talk radio host Deborah Flora. And then you have former state Senator Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch. The Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch of Wellington is expected to enter the race in the coming days. And so Boebert's going to have to prevail in a primary there. And I guess she views her chances of prevailing in the primary in the fourth congressional district to be better than her chances of defeating Adam Frisch in a new campaign in the new race for 2024. It was actually 546 votes was the amount that Boebert won in 2022. And now what this article says as well is that the Republicans can try to put somebody in Colorado's third congressional district that may be more palatable. And Adam Frisch running against Lauren Boebert's extremism may be blunted if the Republicans put in someone who's I guess viewed as more moderate than Lauren Boebert. But I'll take a bit of
