HouseĀ Republican Lauren Boebert isĀ polling 14 points behindĀ potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Coloradoā€™s 4th Congressional District according to a survey conducted on behalf of his campaign.

The poll found McCorkle, a former Marine, would get 43 percent of the vote against 27 percent for Boebertā€”with another 33 percent of voters undecided.

In December 2023, Boebert, aĀ Donald Trump-supporting GOP hardliner who represents Coloradoā€™s 3rd Congressional District in the House, announced she wanted to run for the stateā€™sĀ traditionally more conservative 4th DistrictĀ in a surprise move. Boebert said she made the move seeking a ā€œfresh startā€ after a ā€œpretty difficult year for me and my family,ā€ but critics argued she was worried aboutĀ losing to Democrat Adam Frischā€”who she narrowly beat by around 500 votes in November 2022.

    No, neither candidate has won their primary yet, as the article.makes clear.

    To secure the Republican nomination for Coloradoā€™s 4th District in November Boebert will have to defeat state representatives Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf, ex-state senator Jerry Sonnenberg, business owner Peter Yu and former talk radio presenter Deborah Flore. For the Democratic nomination McCorkle is running against engineer John Padora and ex-speechwriter Trisha Calvarese, who will also contest the special election in June.

      The Republican debate was last night. It was a bit of a shitshow, about zero policy talk. Mostly character attacks against Boebert.
