"House Republicans Face Resignation Dilemma Amid District Changes"
TL;DR Summary
Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado has decided not to enter the special election for Rep. Ken Buck's congressional seat, opting to stay in her current district. Buck's early departure triggers a special election on June 25, alongside the regular GOP primary. Boebert criticized the decision, calling it a "swampy backroom deal" and expressed concern about the confusion it may cause for voters. The Republican candidate who wins the vacancy nomination for the special election will have their name appear twice on the ballot, potentially giving them an advantage.
