President Joe Biden is set to deliver his annual State of the Union address on March 7, following an invitation from House Speaker Mike Johnson.

"Boebert's District Swap Stirs Controversy and Opens New Race Dynamics in Colorado"

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is shifting her political campaign from Colorado's 3rd Congressional District to the 4th, citing personal life changes and a fresh start after a turbulent divorce. Despite the move, she promises to maintain her strong conservative voice and advocacy for issues like fiscal responsibility and limited government. Boebert's relocation is seen as a strategic decision to secure a safer Republican seat after a narrow victory in her previous race and amidst criticism and controversy. Her campaign continues to focus on state and national conservative issues rather than specific district concerns, leveraging her name recognition and fundraising capabilities.

The ad will be aired nationally and in key swing states, aiming to remind voters of the stakes involved in the election, particularly in light of some Republicans' diminishing concern over the January 6 events and continued false claims about the legitimacy of Biden's election.
