Lauren Boebert, hard-right Republican, wins Colorado primary after moving districts

Bitter intraparty fight is one of two elections that could help determine control of Congress in November

Despite a series of personal scandals, Lauren Boebert, a hard-right Colorado Republican who narrowly avoided defeat in 2022, won out over a crowded field of other Republican primary candidates in the fourth congressional district - previously led by Ken Buck - which leans more heavily Republican.

Boebert's primary win is one of the most closely watched results of Colorado's primary elections, which chose the winners in several bitter intra-party fights among the state's Republicans, including in two competitive House districts that could help determine control of Congress in November.
