"Ken Buck Addresses Speculation Over Early Congressional Departure Amidst Boebert's Re-election Bid"

Rep. Ken Buck denies that his early resignation from Congress is intended to harm Rep. Lauren Boebert's re-election chances in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, stating that he is not giving anyone an advantage or disadvantage in the race for his seat. Buck attributes his decision to frustration with congressional gridlock and a desire to campaign for election reforms. Boebert criticized the move as a "gift to the uniparty" and announced she will not compete in the special election to fill Buck's vacancy, citing concerns about voter confusion and leaving the district without representation for over three months.
