An outmaneuvered Lauren Boebert will face more obstacles in 2024 elections

Colorado congressman Ken Buck's abrupt resignation has left the far-right member with two tough choices, upsetting her re-election plans

As well as further reducing US House speaker Mike Johnson's already threadbare majority in his legislative chamber, last week's abrupt departure of Colorado congressman Ken Buck has the potential to significantly damage another prominent Republican figure: Lauren Boebert.

The far-right firebrand seized on Buck's declaration last year that he would not seek re-election by opting to switch from a district the congresswoman barely won in 2022 to run in Buck's soon to be vacant seat.
